Can anyone clarify HR role in final rounds (MBB)?

Hey hey

Had my final round at one MBB yesterday for an SA/JA-C/A role and despite they said I'd hear back on the day, I was then told due to not being able to speak to one interviewer I'd have to wait until Monday.

Can anyone shed some light on the decision process? I thought interviewers just discussed amongst themselves? Where does HR step in?
