Shift manager advised us; in the ETOPS office; today that Management could no longer stamp the 'Accomplishment reporting' of the last page of the ETOPS check. This is due to most members of Management not being fleet ETOPS qualified. Since manning the ETOPS office for 7 months; it's been customary that Management stamps the box in question and accomplish the associated transaction on [maintenance computer system]. Now I'm discovering Management was not qualified to stamp the box.
Technician reported that company policy had allowed ETOPS Pre Departure Checks to be signed off by non-ETOPS qualified personnel.
