For SACCOs & microfinance

Govern the half of the SACCO your core system never sees

Member deposits live in the core banking system. Member money also buys vehicles, renovates branches, and pays allowances — AWRA wraps that operational spend in the same discipline as the loan book.

Sound familiar?

If any of these ring true, you are exactly who this was built for.

The AGM question

"Who supplied the vehicles, at what price, who else quoted?" — answered from memory instead of records.

The depreciation-schedule register

The balance sheet says tens of millions in assets; nobody can say where half of them are.

Branch expenses on trust

Floats topped up on request, retired on faith, reviewed at year-end when the variance is history.

Allowances in envelopes

Sitting allowances paid casually — a recurring audit note and a PAYE exposure in one.

How teams get started

1

Verify the asset base

A branch-by-branch count builds the living register and reconciles it to the financial schedule.

2

Load thresholds and budgets

Your procurement policy and expense envelopes configured — the system starts enforcing what the board adopted.

3

Open the committee view

Supervisory committee gets independent read-only visibility; inspection prep becomes a printout.

Frequently asked questions

Does this replace our core banking system?

No — members, savings, loans, and dividends stay in your core system. AWRA governs the operational spend around it: procurement, assets, expenses, and payroll, with the reporting boards and supervisory committees need on that spend.

How does this help with SASRA inspections and external audits?

Inspections test governance evidence: procurement files, asset verification, expense controls, and policy enforcement. When those controls run in a system, the evidence assembles itself — sampled transactions retrieve end-to-end in minutes instead of file-hunting weeks.

Can the supervisory committee use it without touching operations?

Yes — read-only roles scoped to oversight: full visibility of procurement chains, registers, and exception reports, zero ability to edit, with their access itself logged. Independent visibility without operational interference.

We are a small SACCO. Is this proportionate?

The modules scale down: start with the asset register and procurement thresholds — the two highest-exposure areas — on a small-team plan, and add branch budgeting and payroll as you grow. Governance debt is cheapest to fix while the institution is small.

Put the operations side on the record

Bring one procurement file, your asset schedule, and one branch's expenses — see them governed end to end.
