Introducing Accountra: public-sector accounting and Treasury payments
Accountra keeps the books of a ministry, agency, tertiary institution or council: Treasury vouchers, votebook, cashbook, budget control, approvals and IPSAS cash-basis statements in one system.
Accountra, our public-sector accounting platform, now has its own page on this site. It keeps the books of a ministry, agency, tertiary institution or local government council, following the Treasury payment cycle from the moment a voucher is raised to the moment cash leaves the bank.
Why we built it. The votebook, the cashbook and the advance ledger were designed for paper, and paper records what happened after it happened. By the time the votebook shows a vote is exhausted, the voucher has already been raised, approved and paid. Accountra checks the budget before the voucher exists, and refuses one that would exceed its line.
What it does. Officers raise T27 contractor vouchers, TF1 payment vouchers and staff advances, with PV numbers generated and amounts written out in words. VAT, withholding tax, stamp duty and admin charges are computed as the voucher is typed and gathered into schedules ready to remit. Each voucher passes through checked, audited and approved stages, with amount limits by role. Every cashbook entry posts a balanced cash-basis journal, so the trial balance and the IPSAS Statement of Receipts and Payments are available on any day of the year, not only at month end. Bank statements import from CSV or Excel and reconcile against the cashbook automatically.
Also included are revenue receipts, imprest, deposits, contracts and commitments, payroll with PAYE, pension, NHF and NHIS for organisations not on IPPIS, store vouchers and a tagged fixed asset register.
Accountra is built around Nigerian Treasury practice and adapts to ministries, agencies, tertiary institutions and councils. Read more and request a demo on the Accountra page.
