Project Description
This service portal will serve the accounting purposes of the many student clubs and societies, such as managing their club funds accounts, propose budgets or submit and track claims.
Each year, there are 2 budgeting cycles and currently, club funds are allocated arbitrarily and there is often poor utilization of budgeted funds. This is caused by the fact that there is no unified approach to bookkeeping and the large number of student clubs makes tracking difficult. The current claims process is convoluted and students have found that the process is too long; causing much unhappiness as students often have to fork out their own money which may amount to thousands. There is also no direct way to track the progress of the claim request.
The new system will bring all clubs’ accounts together and include tools such as report generation as well as an analytics dashboard. In doing so, SMUSA will be able to more efficiently allocate budgets to the clubs and students will know the status of their claims. The unified approach to bookkeeping will also simplify audit efforts and eliminate current problems like irreconcilable account balances. We also aim to eliminate the underutilization of budgeted funds. This system will affect all SMU students who are involved in school clubs, especially students with leadership positions.
