How does GFEBS help ensure compliance with procurement policies?

GFEBS, or General Fund Enterprise Business System, plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with procurement policies primarily through the implementation of robust workflow approvals and budget checks. These features are designed to enforce systematic oversight at various stages of the procurement process.

Workflow approvals ensure that purchase requisitions are reviewed and authorized by designated personnel before any spending occurs. This layered approval process helps to eliminate unauthorized purchases and ensures that all transactions align with relevant regulations and organizational policy.

Additionally, budget checks are an essential feature that ensures the funds allocated for a particular project or department are available before any commitment is made. This helps prevent overspending and ensures that procurement activities remain within legal and fiscal constraints.

Collectively, these measures embedded within GFEBS help to create a structured and compliant procurement environment, minimizing the risk of errors or improper expenditures.
