For accounting
Amount, supplier, date, reference of the programme and of the budget allocated. The line is found without manual reconstruction, payment by payment.
Every payment is recorded on a tamper-proof blockchain, with its amount, its supplier, its date and the rule applied. Your teams find the operation and its status in real time, each of them in the view that is theirs.
Every accepted payment becomes a sealed entry in a chained ledger. Each entry locks the previous one: changing an amount breaks the link, and the ledger refuses the change.
Each entry locks the previous one. Entry 145 carries the fingerprint 4f2a…c19b.
Events tracked
Every event is time-stamped and linked to the programme. Nothing is reconstructed after the fact.
Views by role
Transparency is not putting everything in common. Each role has a view defined by its responsibility and its purpose.
| Role | What they find | What they do not see |
|---|---|---|
| Funder | The budget, its consumption in real time, every payment with its amount, its supplier, its date and the rule applied. | Individual files and the personal data of beneficiaries. |
| Contributor | The use of their contribution, payment by payment, in the programme they funded. | The other programmes, and the identity of beneficiaries. |
| The programme team | The settings, the budgets allocated, the requests, the payments and the reasons for refusal. | Anything belonging to another programme. |
| Beneficiary | Their balance, their payments, their statuses and the reason for a refusal concerning them. | The operations of other beneficiaries. |
| Supplier | The payments they have taken. | The programme’s rules and the beneficiaries’ budgets. |
Authorisation and settlement
These are two distinct events, at two distinct moments. Confusing them gives two false readings of the same budget.
| Status | What it means | Effect on the budget |
|---|---|---|
| Authorised | The rule was checked before execution and the operation went through. | The amount is reserved against the available budget. |
| Settled | The supplier has been paid. It is that payment which is recorded on the blockchain. | The amount is charged to the budget used. |
| Refused | A programme rule was not satisfied. The reason is kept, and the beneficiary is given it. | No effect: the budget stays available. |
A budget is therefore read as three amounts: what is reserved, what is charged, what remains available. All three are visible in real time.
Reconciliation
A recorded payment carries the information needed for accounting reconciliation and internal audit.
Amount, supplier, date, reference of the programme and of the budget allocated. The line is found without manual reconstruction, payment by payment.
The rule applied at the time of the operation, its status and, in the event of a refusal, its reason. The audit bears on the rule, not on a declaration.
Exports
The format, the frequency, the role that receives them and the fields of the exports are defined with the teams that use them. Every export states what it covers and its extraction date. No universal export format is announced on this site.
Corrections
Correcting does not mean altering the past, but explaining it.
An entry recorded on the blockchain is not modified: neither MAP nor the funder can rewrite it. A correction is recorded as a new event, linked to the original operation: cancellation, refund, adjustment. The history stays readable in both directions, from the correction to the original operation and from the operation to its corrections.
That is exactly what makes the trace useful: if it could be touched up, it would prove nothing.
