How it works

Clerical work by agents. Judgement by people.

Every agent proposal shows its evidence and waits for a named person. Nothing reaches the statements without a signature that binds to the figures it signs.

  1. Books in
    Ledger, bank and registers
  2. Agent drafts
    Matches, maps, proposes
  3. Officer reviews
    Evidence one click away
  4. Approved
    By the Strategic Executive
  5. Sealed
    Bound to the figures

One ledger

Billing, receipts, creditors, payroll, assets and the general ledger post to the same books. No interfaces between modules, no month-end per module.

Agents do the clerical work

Matching, mapping, reconciling and drafting run in the background. Exceptions come first; settled items stay one click from their evidence.

Named people sign

Prepared, reviewed, approved and signed by the Accounting Officer. A seal breaks visibly when a sealed figure changes.

Who it serves

One place for everyone who touches the statements.

Each group sees its own work, and only the councils and years it is granted.

  • Council finance

    Cashiers, billing, creditors and the Strategic Executive: Finance.

  • Accounting firms

    Preparers and reviewers running a season of councils.

  • Auditors

    The Auditor-General and audit firms, read-only by grant and year.

  • Oversight

    The Ministry and internal audit, with returns and analytics.

Security

Built for public money.

Sign in with a passkey or a password and an authenticator code. Councils set their own lock-out and time-out rules, and every sign-in is on the record.
