Money going out, with an approver on it

Expense management covers requisition, approval, payment and voucher against a head of account — salaries, utilities, maintenance, transport fuel, purchases — so every payment out carries who requested it, who approved it, and which budget line it reduced.

It records and approves. It does not execute bank transfers; payment is made through your bank as it is today, and recorded here.

Written by Checked by Syed RuheeLast reviewed

Schools account for fees with great care and for expenses with a file of bills. The asymmetry survives until an audit asks who approved a maintenance payment in September, and the answer is a signature nobody can attribute.

Approval limits that reflect who actually decides

A ₹2,000 stationery purchase and a ₹200,000 maintenance contract should not follow the same path. Limits are set per head and per role, so routine spending clears quickly and anything material reaches the person who is genuinely accountable for it.

02

The bill attached to the voucher

A voucher with the bill attached is retrievable in seconds at audit. A voucher with the bill in a lever-arch file is retrievable in an afternoon, assuming it was filed under the year the auditor is asking about rather than the year it was paid.

FAQ

Questions people ask

Phrased the way they arrive, answered so each one stands on its own.

Does it make payments?

No. Payment happens through your bank as it does today and is recorded against the voucher. We do not move money out of a school’s account.

Can approval limits differ by category?

Yes, per head of account and per role, so routine spending is not queued behind material spending.

Does this reach the accounting system?

Yes, posted against heads of account and reconciled nightly alongside receipts.
