much?5. Is there any document on materials in the sch.?6. What are these materials?7. What is the enrolment in the school?8. What are the expenditure areas(projects) in your
school & their amounts?
Tracking Tools for school budgets 9. Does the school have a bank account? How much money?10. Who authorizes the expenditure of the school funds? SIMSIC11. Do you have school subcommittee?12. Are the school accounts audited? How often? Cash-book, bank account & expenditure
