At the end of the session, speak to your GM about your purchases. It's recorded on your chronicle sheet. Generally a GM initials that purchase.
You may sometimes have opportunity to buy things before or during the adventure, too.
Jiggy, the GM may not be stopping the game, to sign for every individual iron spike, at the time you buy it, but you'd put your purchases in the 'Spent' box, and those totals would carry through to the running total in the bottom right, that your GM should be signing off.
Generally a GM initials that purchase.Wait, what?
Yep. Purchases can only be done in the presence of a GM, even always available stuff. The GM has to make sure the correct item is written on the chronicle sheet and the correct amount of gold is spent and subtracted from the characters total gold. Basically, anything written on a chronicle sheet has to be witnessed and initialed by a GM if the GM is not the one who wrote it on there, otherwise it is probably not legal.

A GM has to be present for the buying/selling but I have never once had a GM inital any of my transactions

Checks Season 3 chronicle - Nope, Gm doesn't need to initial anything but "Gold Gained" and "Day Job" all buying and selling is done after that. Most of the time that isn't even figured out until the beginning of the next scenario in case you want to buy/sell something before the next one starts, which should be recorded on the last sheet, as you don't have the new one yet

I generally initial all the changes. It might not be mandatory, but I want to indicate to other GMs that I reviewed the work. I want my players to get their next GM to understand everything was on the up and up. I initial on the right hand column so the next GM sees that I reviewed the work. Some GMS do this, some don't.

Note that it was only the initialing that surprised me, not the recording of purchases on chronicles - I already record all transactions (including Prestige purchases such as 2PP for a wand) on my chronicles. But I've never had anyone initial those purchases, or even audit my sheets (though I always bring them all in case anyone wants to).

Yes, I should have been clearer.
I've been in the briefing, found I'm expected to go somewhere inhospitable, or found there's no healer in the group, and all decided to go shopping on the way to the mission.
The PCs spent what they needed for supplies, scrubbed the cost off their character sheets, and kept a note, so it could be added at the end, when they got their Chronicle.

Well now you're red-flagged.

Under the actual rules, the only thing in the Items Sold/Conditions Gained or Items Bought/Conditions Cleared boxes that are to be initialed are the rolls to train animals or to write spells into spellbooks, and to note afflictions, and to note rebuilds due to changes from playtests.
Sometimes a player must have you witness
a roll to verify she successfully scribed a scroll into her
spellbook or trained an animal companion to do a new
trick. Write your initials next to any such entries in these
sections to show that you witnessed the roll and that the
PC was successful in the attempt.
If,
however, a character is unable to resolve a condition
before moving on to the next scenario, you will need to
write the condition in the Items Sold/Conditions Gained
box on that player’s Chronicle sheet and initial next to
what you wrote (see below).
When rebuilding your character in any way, you must
describe all changes on your next Chronicle in the
Equipment Sold/Conditions Gained section, and your
GM must initial that section.
There is no other mention of initialing those boxes.
While it might be a good idea to review and initial players purchases, the lack of initials in no way makes those purchases illegal or invalid.
Lets not confuse something some GM's do for what the actual rules are.

But I've never had anyone initial those purchases, or even audit my sheets (though I always bring them all in case anyone wants to).
Jiggy - It probably surprised you because it is not actually a rule. (See above post.)

Well if you come to my table, and play in my game, I'll do it for you. That way it can speed things along should you get someone who audits your sheet.
I don't do it to be mean. I do it to help people along.
