Audit and governance
A record your auditors can follow from start to finish
Every create, approve, issue and adjust action is written as an append-only audit event. Issued documents are frozen, corrections are explicit, and approvals use maker/checker — so the question “who did what, and when?” always has an answer.
- Append-only audit events
- Maker/checker approvals
What audit trail does Invoice And Tax keep?
Invoice And Tax records significant actions — creating, approving, issuing and adjusting documents — as append-only audit events that capture who, what and when. Issued documents are frozen snapshots, corrections are made through linked notes or reversing entries, and an audit and assurance workspace brings the evidence together.

How it works
Governance built into the workflow
Controls are not a separate module you remember to switch on. Validation runs before issue, issued versions freeze automatically, VAT returns require approval, and the audit trail records each step as it happens.
- Who · What · When on every event
- Approvals recorded with the approver
- Corrections visible as their own entries
