Who should receive copies of the barangay Disbursement Voucher?

The barangay Disbursement Voucher is an important document in local government financial processes. It serves as a record of expenditures and is used to authorize payments. Because of its significance, multiple parties need to be informed about these transactions to ensure transparency and accountability.

The barangay Treasurer plays a crucial role in managing financial resources and needs to keep an accurate record of all disbursements made by the barangay. This ensures proper financial management and aids in tracking the barangay’s expenditures.

The Local Auditor concerned requires copies of the Disbursement Voucher to carry out audits effectively. Having access to this information allows the auditor to verify that funds are being used appropriately and that financial regulations are being adhered to.

The City/Municipal Accountant is also a key figure since they are responsible for maintaining the overall financial records of the municipality or city, which includes the funds allocated to various barangays. Being informed of the barangay's disbursements helps ensure that the financial records are complete and that reporting is accurate.

Therefore, all these parties collectively need access to the barangay Disbursement Voucher to maintain proper checks and balances within the local government financial system. This safeguard is critical in promoting ethical use of public funds and in supporting accountability in governance.
