Do I need any special accounting controls in my eProcurement system?
Implementation of electronic systems should neither detract from nor significantly alter how departments discharge their obligations under Government Accounting. Government Accounting notes that there is no single system of controls that will suit all circumstances. It is a department’s responsibility to make sure there is proper control in their systems over expenditure and payment. The introduction of an electronic system in no way detracts from this requirement, and if implemented correctly should in fact enable departments to increase their reliance on preventative controls as opposed to more traditional detective measures.
