Audit trail

Audit Trail Compliance by Shyphan AI

Since April 2023, companies in India must use accounting software that records an audit trail of every transaction, including edits and deletions, that cannot be disabled. Auditors now report on whether the feature was on all year. Spreadsheets, manual ledgers and older desktop packages leave companies exposed at audit.

Shyphan AI sets up Zoho Books so the audit trail is enabled, roles and approvals control who can change what, periods are locked after close, and your auditor has read-only access to the books and the log.

  • Audit trail on, and kept on

    Edit logs for every transaction, with the setting protected from being switched off.
  • Controls, not just logs

    Roles, approvals and locked periods reduce the edits that need explaining.
  • Auditor-ready

    Read-only auditor access with the reports and logs they ask for.

Common challenges

Where businesses struggle before Audit Trail Compliance

Audit trail switched off

Desktop software where the log can be disabled, which auditors now flag.

Everyone can edit anything

No roles, so old invoices and vouchers change without approval.

Open periods

Entries posted into closed months after the returns were filed.

Auditor asks, nobody knows

Who changed a voucher and when cannot be answered.
