Abstract: A disbursement tracking system for organizations, government entities and the like. The system facilitates disbursement of funds to specific recipients within an organization and performs error checking to ensure that only the addressee takes control of the funds. This is accomplished through the creation of an address label which is affixed to the disbursement in the form of an encrypted code, which can be decrypted by a user for storage in a separate disbursement record file containing relevant identifying information. Address label information will include a sender identifier, an address identifier, a disbursement amount, and an optional reference number associated with an allocation or budget proposal. When the disbursement is received by a department or project manager, the system checks the address label against the department's identifier for a match. A correct match results in attribution of the funds to the recipient's available funds total.
