Founder Claims (Lawyer document)
The 💜 Founder Claims report is a document designed to be handed to a lawyer, auditor, or board when you need to demonstrate what the founding team has personally invested in or spent on behalf of the business.
Go to Reports → 💜 Founder Claims (Lawyer).
What this report contains
The report has two sections:
Section A — Private deposits and loans
All bank transactions you have labeled private_deposit or private_loan in bank reconciliation, filtered by date range. These are transfers of personal money into the business account.
Each row shows:
- Date
- Amount (TZS or foreign currency)
- Bank narration / description
- Label
This section answers: how much personal money has the founder put into the business?
Section B — Unreconciled business expenses
EFD receipts that have not been matched to a bank statement transaction. These are expenses the business incurred but that were not paid from the company bank account — meaning the founder likely paid from personal funds.
Each row shows:
- Date
- Supplier
- Amount and VAT
- EFD verification code and receipt time (for TRA portal cross-checking)
This section answers: which business expenses did the founder personally pay for?
Payroll rows are excluded
Salary payments and statutory transfers (PAYE, NSSF, SDL, WCF) are automatically excluded from Section B. These are business obligations that should be paid from the company account, not from personal funds.
Date range filter
Use the From and To date pickers to narrow the report to a specific period — for example, the current financial year or a specific dispute period.
