Description

## Problem

Right now, the Expense & Revenue stats are very simple. If a transaction is positive, then it's included as revenue. If it's negative, then it's an expense. Because of this, the Expense & Revenue stats on the organization home page are not helpful for HQ organizations because they are artificially inflated.

## Desired UX

Disbursements for the purpose of internal account transfer should be omitted from the Expense & Revenue stats.

## Solution

1. We need to categorize Disbursements by their intended purpose. For example:
- Repayment of an expense (e.g. Claude paid by HQ; and HCB disburses)
- Funding of an event/project
- Returning extra funds from an event/project
- NOTE: categories _**should**_ be more generic than the reason I mentioned above, but they still need to capture the intention behind the money movement from an accounting perspective; and granular enough for us to help organizations understand their finances.
2. We need to understand which categorizes needs to be omitted from the Expense & Revenue stats
3. Then, actually omit them from the Expense & Revenue stats

Research direction

Start by locating the organization home page's Expense & Revenue stats and the code that represents Disbursements. Review how transaction direction currently determines revenue or expense, then define generic accounting-purpose categories and identify which category represents internal account transfers. Done means those transfers are omitted without excluding legitimate expenses or revenue.
