Expense Approval and Financial Monitoring

Expense approval in Projek ensures that recorded costs are reviewed and validated before being finalized. This structured process helps maintain financial integrity and prevents unauthorized or inaccurate spending from affecting project budgets.

Through role-based permissions, designated managers or workspace owners can review submitted expenses, approve valid entries, or reject those requiring correction. This approval workflow strengthens accountability and oversight.

Financial monitoring tools provide real-time visibility into spending trends, remaining budgets, and overall cost performance, enabling proactive financial management.

Expense Approval Workflow

When an expense is recorded, it may enter an approval process depending on workspace settings.

Common expense statuses include:

• Draft: Saved but not yet submitted.

• Pending: Awaiting managerial review.

• Approved: Verified and accepted.

• Rejected: Returned for correction.

Approval ensures expenses are properly validated before impacting financial reports.

Approving or Rejecting Expenses

Authorized users (Managers or Owners) can:

1. Review expense details and attached documentation.

2. Click “Approve” to confirm validity.

3. Click “Reject” if corrections are needed.

4. Provide comments explaining the decision (if supported).

Rejected expenses can be edited and resubmitted for review.

Monitoring Financial Performance

Project financial monitoring includes:

• Total allocated budget
