Talk:Authorisation of Expenditure

It's good to see someone working on this. A couple of suggestions from me:

  1. As well as making responsibilities clear, make procedures clear as well. When I was trying to work out a system of controls, I intended there to be actual forms with (electronic) signatures on so it was very clear who had authorised what - I would recommend that approach.
  2. Rather than have some expenditure that doesn't need authorisation, have a system of granting authorisation once for recurring expenditure. The end result is pretty much the same, but it makes sure there is a clear paper trail. (You don't want someone paying something thinking it was an exemption and then that being disputed.) --Tango (talk) 12:02, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
Thanks Tango - fantastic suggestions. Will put them in. Richard Symonds (WMUK) (talk) 14:27, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
