Purchasing and Cost-Management Approvals in Sage Intacct
Effective purchasing controls are essential for any organization that wants to manage spending responsibly and maintain clean audit results. Within Sage Intacct, purchasing and cost-management approvals are designed around a straightforward principle: no single person should be able to request, approve, record, and pay for the same expense.
This separation of duties is one of the most important safeguards auditors look for when evaluating internal financial controls. By structuring approvals carefully, organizations can reduce risk, maintain transparency, and create a reliable audit trail for every transaction.
