Rayterton Public Financial Management
Budget control, treasury visibility, audit-ready execution

A government-grade Public Financial Management System (PFMS) that supports end-to-end public finance: planning and budgeting, appropriations, commitment control, treasury cash visibility, payment processing, revenue tracking, general ledger accounting, and executive fiscal dashboards, backed by strict controls and audit trails.

Budget + Appropriations + Commitments
Treasury + Cash Planning + Payments
GL Accounting + Reporting
Audit Trails + Fiscal Control

Why public finance needs a unified system

Without integrated controls, budgeting and spending become fragmented: commitments bypass limits, payments are delayed, and reporting becomes inconsistent. A PFMS aligns planning, budget execution, treasury visibility, and accounting, ensuring fiscal discipline and audit readiness.

Fiscal discipline

Budget control and commitment checks

Prevent overspending using appropriation controls and commitment validation at every step.

  • Budget ceilings and appropriations
  • Commitment control and reservation
  • Maker-checker approvals
Treasury visibility

Cash planning and payment pipelines

Track cash positions, planned payments, and funding needs across accounts and entities.

  • Cash plan and payment schedule
  • Payment status and reconciliation-ready logs
  • Funding and liquidity visibility
Audit-ready

Accounting and traceable approvals

Every transaction is linked to approvals, supporting evidence, and accounting postings.

  • Full audit trail per transaction
  • GL postings with traceability to sources
  • Exportable audit packs
