NGO expense claim best practices
How Cambodian NGOs can structure expense claims, cash advances, and reimbursements to keep donor audits simple.
Structure claims by project, not employee

Approval rules that scale
- Amount thresholds that route automatically to the right role
- Separate cash advance clearance from reimbursement
- Require photo receipts for claims above a defined value
