# Developing systems

Everyone who handles money needs to keep one or more written records listing all transactions. The survival system is ideal during the early days of an emergency. But it does not provide accounts or financial reports for the programme.

You therefore need more developed systems as soon as possible, to actively manage the programme's finances. Ideally, you can choose your organisation's accounting system.

If your organisation does not have a system, consider:

- either a cash and bank book
- or an analysed cash and bank book.

Either of these books will then provide the basis for all other financial systems. More

Examples of these records can be found in systems - resources

You may also wish to develop the vouchers you use to include for instance space for approval of payments. More
