Financial Controls & Cost Governance
iCore financial controls enforce budgets, approvals, and payment conditions — ensuring every dollar spent is authorized, verified, and defensible.

Financial limits are enforced at every stage — preventing unauthorized commitments before they occur.
Budget Thresholds
Define spending limits by asset, workflow, or portfolio.
Pre-Authorization
Require budget approval before work is released.

Prevent spend outside approved scope definitions.
Variance Detection
Identify cost deviations before they escalate.
