   @xrisk Thanks, interesting. I will look at this at some point and see if it's different from what ledger-cli does, how it handles cents-rounding, etc.

     @clacke this is just a “student-run collective” aka a bunch of friends in college :floofLol: we are collectively the auditors I guess
     
     also about the currency question, we let hledger take care of that. im not too sure about how the actual currency conversion works, sorry :/
     
     update: I took a look at the ledger files, they look like this: if that helps!

     @xrisk That sounds like a very cool setup!

     Are you handling different currencies at all? How do your accountants and auditors feel about the setup?

     I was doing some ledger-cli accounting almost a decade ago, and had a mix of scripts, spreadsheets and manual work to handle USD vs HKD, and I also used scripts that created spreadsheets and exported them to PDFs, which the auditors could read.

     @prav @badrihippo @kishy @disaster2life @ravi so cool! all power and support to yall ❤️ I would have loved to be sitting there, it seems like a crazy gang of people.
     
     wanted to share the setup we use at @ntns as well (made by @noteness !). it uses hledger under the hood and a gitops model to manage expenses (people file new issues using an issue template to mark expenses) and theyre automatically added to hledger + validated + the website is updated by a CI action

     We had a Prav mini meetup in #Delhi yesterday featuring @badrihippo, @ravi, @kishy, and @disaster2life

     We worked on getting Prav's financial records organised in a single place, so we can refer to it easily. This will make work easier for the Treasury Team and also enable greater transparency in our reporting

     Our original meeting place, Chaayos in Connaught Place, turned out to be too crowded. We instead sat at Andhra Canteen for a couple of hours to kick off the session

     After an ice cream break, we went to Café Coffee Day but they were not welcoming and wanted us to order more just for the privilege of sitting down. So we left the place and wrapped up at the bench outside in the infamous Delhi heat

     Note to self: bring fully charged laptops next time!
