Expense Variance Flagging System
Automate variance checks to control unexpected spikes in operational spending.

Why automate?
Comparing actuals against budgeted expenses helps identify overspending, but manually checking this across departments is time-consuming and error-prone. Unnoticed variances can lead to budget overruns. Cflow automatically flags entries that exceed set variance thresholds and routes them to department heads or finance leads for explanation or approval. This keeps spending aligned with budgets and enables early corrective action.
