# Expenditure controls

Expenditure above a certain level usually needs to be authorised by one or more designated senior managers.

Your organisation may have already set limits:

- If so, stick to them as soon as possible.
- If not, or until they can be brought in, set limits which you feel are a reasonable compromise between operational flexibility and tight financial control.
- Consider tightening/loosening these limits after you see how they work.
