# Advances

Advances are made to team members primarily for programme expenditure but also sometimes for personal expenditure.

Managing advances is a major challenge in emergencies. Drafting advance regulations to suit your programme is an important first step.

Programme advances and personal advances are dealt with separately in the following sections:

- Programme advances
- Personal advances

An advance should be either for programme or for personal expenditure, never both.
