Expense management software for Ghanaian organisations.
Every payment approved, documented and posted, with its VAT invoice on file.
Ghana's VAT Act 2025 (Act 1151) took effect on 1 January 2026, and the GRA is moving VAT invoicing onto E-VAT in phases. Input VAT claims need a valid VAT invoice. Creodata keeps the invoice with the request, routes it through your approval chain and posts it to Business Central.
Finance controls for Ghanaian organisations, mapped to the system.
Internal audit, the GRA and donors ask the same questions of every payment: who authorised it, is the VAT invoice on file, and does the ledger match? Each control maps to a capability of the expense management system.
Apply the delegated authority in your approval policy
Each supplier invoice, petty cash or cashbook payment routes through the chain set for its department and request type, for example Head of Department, Finance Reviewer and CFO, with an amount threshold deciding how requests are split.
Separate who asks, who approves and who pays
Submitter, Approver, Finance Reviewer, CFO and Admin are distinct roles with their own queues, and every user signs in through Microsoft Entra ID.
Keep a valid VAT invoice behind every input VAT claim
Every invoice and receipt is attached to its request and stored in SharePoint Online, linked to the approval and the ledger entry. Finance can require the VAT invoice or E-VAT document before a request is approved. The system keeps the document; it does not connect to or validate against the tax authority's system.
Pay only what was approved
Payment follows final approval. M-Pesa B2C and B2B payment is built in for Kenya. Paying out over MTN MoMo, Telecel Cash, GhIPSS Instant Pay or your bank is an integration we scope with each organisation; approvals, documents and posting work the same either way.
Approvals within agreed timelines
Durable orchestration watches every pending approval and escalates overdue items to the next approver, recording the escalation against the request.
Books that match what was approved and paid
Approved items post to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central over OData with their SharePoint documents linked, so nobody re-keys a voucher.
Handle staff and supplier data under the Data Protection Act 2012 (Act 843)
Access is by role through Microsoft Entra ID, documents sit in SharePoint Online in your Microsoft 365 tenant, and each approval, escalation and posting is recorded against its request.
This maps software capability to common finance controls; it is not audit or tax advice. M-Pesa payment is built in for Kenya; other payment rails and ERPs are confirmed per organisation during scoping.

Frequently asked questions.
Is this expense management software available in Ghana?
Yes. Creodata is a Nairobi software company, and the system runs on Microsoft Azure, so Ghanaian organisations use the same approval chains, SLA escalation, SharePoint documents and Business Central posting as Kenyan ones. Chains, request types and thresholds are configured per organisation.
Does it integrate with GRA E-VAT?
No. The system does not connect to E-VAT or validate invoices. It keeps the VAT invoice with each request, and finance can make that document a condition of approval, so every input VAT claim has its evidence on file.
Can it pay over MTN MoMo or GhIPSS Instant Pay?
M-Pesa payment is built in for Kenya. In Ghana, payment over MTN MoMo, Telecel Cash, GhIPSS Instant Pay or your bank is an integration we scope with each organisation. Approvals, documents and Business Central posting work unchanged.
Can approval thresholds be set in cedis?
Approval chains and the amount thresholds that split requests are configured per organisation. Our reference configuration is in Kenya shillings; confirm cedis amounts, and any multi-currency or multi-entity set-up, with us during scoping.
Where is our data held?
The system runs on Microsoft Azure, and documents are stored in SharePoint Online in your own Microsoft 365 tenant. Access is by role through Microsoft Entra ID. Map this against your obligations under the Data Protection Act 2012 (Act 843) with your data protection officer before you go live.
How much does expense management software cost in Ghana?
We quote per organisation. The price depends on the number of users and entities, the request types and approval chains you need, and the integrations involved. Ask every vendor for a three-year total cost on the same basis, covering licences, implementation, payment and ERP integration, hosting and support, so the quotes can be compared.
