Money tracking is the area's petty-cash ledger. Carers record what came in (allowances, refunds, contributions) and what went out (groceries, activities, travel) so the cash tin always matches the system.
What you can do here
Record transactions — money-in or money-out, with a description and optional receipt photo.
See the running balance — the cumulative total of every transaction.
Verify transactions — managers can mark transactions as verified (with a comment) so audit reviews can spot what's been checked.
Attach receipts — one image per transaction.
Note — Carerealm doesn't have a built-in category dropdown (Shopping / Activities / Travel etc). Use the description field to tag transactions consistently — e.g. "[Shopping] Sainsbury's weekly" or "[Travel] Taxi to dentist" — so they're easy to filter and report on.
Who can see and edit
Anyone with access to the area can view the ledger and record new transactions. Editing or deleting a recorded transaction is restricted to area moderators and realm admins — that's a safeguarding control, so a single carer can't silently rewrite the petty-cash record.
Heads up — Money tracking is part of the legal record. Don't use it for personal cash kept by staff — it's for the supported person's money only.
