The Budget Warning Arrives After the Approval

Our budget module gets the hard part right: money leaves a budget when the order is approved, not when it is paid, and a cancelled order releases the commitment. What it does next is the part to know about — it works out that you are over, approves the request anyway, and sends a notification explaining why. A control refuses; this one explains.

The Handover Nobody Is Asked to Do

Our asset register can tell you exactly what a departing officer holds — the list is one click away on their own record. Nothing in the process of them leaving asks the question, moving one person's custody to their successor is one action per asset, and the incoming custodian never signs for anything.

Three Requests, One Purchase

Splitting a purchase to stay under a tender ceiling is the pattern every auditor looks for first. Our product will not spot it, and the reason is structural rather than a missing report: a procurement request in our system carries no money at all, and its department is free text. There is nothing at the moment of the split to compare against a threshold.
