The Finance Innovation for Efficient Systems and Tracking is developed to streamline financial management processes, enhance data accessibility, and improve reporting efficiency. This system will enable schools to directly view the status of their liquidations, reducing the need for manual follow-ups and allowing them to better manage their resources. Additionally, the system will facilitate the preparation of reports for the Accounting and Budget Section, which are monthly and quarterly submitted to the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) and the Regional Office, by allowing the Cashier to easily upload required data.
