Voucher system definition

What is a Voucher System?

A voucher system is a method for authorizing the disbursement of cash. A voucher is filled out that identifies what is to be paid for, the amount to be paid, and the account number to be charged. Once this voucher is approved, the disbursement system is authorized to issue payment. Thus, a voucher system is a control used to ensure that cash is only spent on authorized purchases.
