Every edit, every entry, every change — recorded permanently with the user's name and a precise timestamp. Your books tell the full story, not just the final numbers.
Start Free TrialIn accounting, knowing what changed matters as much as the current balance. Kantivo automatically records a detailed audit trail for every action in your books — creating transactions, editing account details, deleting entries, updating customer records, and more.
This isn't a casual activity feed. It's a forensic-grade log that captures the who, what, when, and before-and-after of every change. When your accountant asks "who modified this entry?" or the IRS wants to see your records, the answer is one click away.
Every log entry records the username of the person who took the action. Combined with role-based access, you always know who touched what.
The log captures the entity type, the specific record, and the nature of the change — including before and after values where applicable.
Timestamps precise to the second. Sort and filter by date range to pinpoint exactly when a change occurred.
No need to scroll through thousands of entries. Search by keyword and filter by user, entity type, action type, or date to find exactly what you need.
Kantivo monitors changes across every major area of your accounting data. Here's what the audit log captures automatically:
Core accounting data changes are always recorded.
Billing activity tracked from creation through payment.
Administrative and contact record changes are logged too.
The audit log is built to satisfy the record-keeping standards auditors and regulators expect.
Whether you have one bookkeeper or a team of five, the audit log gives you confidence that your financial data is trustworthy. You can see exactly who did what, verify that corrections were made properly, and prove to any auditor that your books have been maintained with integrity.
A full audit trail is built into every Kantivo installation — no add-ons required.
