Why it matters

Audits go better when the history is already there.

Every change is recorded automatically, and closed periods stay closed, so you can answer auditors’ questions from the system instead of from memory.

  • Who, what and when for each change
  • Field-level differences you can inspect
  • Segregation of duties in approvals
  • Fiscal calendar and subledger lock

FAQ

Approvals & Controls questions, answered.

Can the same person both raise and approve a request?

Approval workflows support role gates and segregation of duties, so you can design them to keep those steps separate.

Can closed periods be protected?

Yes. Depreciation, disposals and revaluations dated on or before the lock date are rejected.

Can it work with our other systems?

Yes. Webhooks send signed events to your systems, and BI exports provide CSV datasets.
