as per
In accordance with
As per means "according to" or "in accordance with," used when following instructions, agreements, or specifications: as per your request, as per the contract terms.
The phrase is common in business and legal contexts but often criticized as redundant, since per alone conveys the same meaning.
As per usual is a slightly jocular variant of "as usual."
