Powered by Constant ControlWhy project budgets blow out
Most organisations discover problems after the money is spent. SpendGuard puts you back in control.
Spreadsheet chaos
at every level
Programme and project budgets live across dozens of spreadsheets. Nobody knows which number is current.
Approval histories are buried in email chains. When auditors arrive, evidence takes weeks to compile.

Budget overruns found after
invoices have already been paid
