Accounting and Billing Procedures.
An intranet is an excellent place to provide information about invoicing and billing procedures. Keeping it on the intranet ensures that employees have immediate access to any recently updated latest information.

Budgeting and Forecasts.
Manager can easily post budget reports, comparison spending reports and forecasts of future spending on the intranet. If needed, security access privileges can be set up for particular departments.

Profit and Loss Report.
This important financial document can easily be update and distributed to managers on the intranet.

Financial Database Queries.
Using database integration tools and with the browser as the front-end, corporate legacy financial data can be queried easily and efficiently.

Internal Purchasing.
Why not put online the employee purchases of corporate-approved items such as departmental office supplies and computer supplies? To place a request, an employee fills out an online request form. The form is then routed for processing or to a manager for approval.

Travel and Expense Reporting.
An intranet can enable users to calculate business-related expenses in a spreadsheet format and submit reports electronically to the accounting department for reimbursement. The accounting department can use an administration page on the browser that summarizes all outstanding expense forms and amount of reimbursement requested.

Purchasing Analysis.
Optimize enterprise purchasing performance by putting a purchasing analysis tool on the intranet. Allow users to query tools to identify suppliers meeting specific user-defined selection criteria as well as analysis of historical spending data.

Miscellaneous Reports.
An intranet saves paper by making it easy to post routine reports such as travel expense reports, monthly phone usage reports, etc. Confidential financial reports can also be disseminated to key people by using security access controls.
