# Introduction to Expenses accounting and the Finance role

If you have been assigned the Finance role, you’ll be able to access the **Banking** and **Accounting** roles in the side menu.

For users with the Finance role to view ALL claims waiting to be approved:

1. As an admin, go to **Setup**.
2. In the **Account** tab, tick the **Allow the Finance role to view all claims waiting to be approved** box.

Finance users can do the following in Expenses:

- See expense history for all users from the Archive tab within Expenses.
- View, approve or reject expenses at any stage of the claim within Expenses.
- Access Banking to manage and view credit card transactions across all users
- Access Accounting to view and manage all expenses to be exported to third party system.
