Expense Allocation System (EAS)™
By IntegriDATA, an Indus Valley Partners company
Expense Allocation System (EAS) for private equity and hedge funds is an expense allocation software tool that simplifies the allocation of expenses to funds and management companies, eliminates risks and speeds up invoice processing. EAS offers a smart way to streamline fund allocations by improving accuracy and efficiency through automation, reducing the risk of human errors, and ensuring full regulatory compliance. EAS automates complex and fund-specific allocation rules so that the in-house teams can process most allocations quickly, and can devote more resources to exception handling.
Leading asset managers trust IVP to handle complex expense allocations. By integrating the Expense Allocation System (EAS)™ with IVP’s “digital-first” Accounts Payable Services, firms streamline invoice processing and transaction handling while maintaining full control—all from a single, trusted source.
