A permanent, tamper-proof record of every change to your books. Know who did what, when they did it, and exactly what was changed -- before and after.
Try It FreeIn accounting, trust starts with transparency. Kantivo's audit log records every modification across your financial data -- transactions created, accounts renamed, invoices edited, customer details updated, vendor records changed, and more. Each entry captures the user who made the change, the timestamp, and the before-and-after values so you can reconstruct exactly what happened and why.
This is not a simplified activity feed. It is a detailed, chronological audit trail built for the standards that accountants, auditors, and tax professionals expect.
The audit log monitors changes across every area of your accounting data. Here is what Kantivo records automatically:
Creates, edits, voids, and deletions
New accounts, renames, type changes
Created, edited, voided, payments applied
Created, edited, paid, voided
Contact changes, credit adjustments
Contact updates, term changes
Every audit log entry records the specific user who performed the action. When multiple people access the books, you always know who is responsible.
When a record is modified, the audit log captures both the original value and the new value. This makes it straightforward to identify errors, trace corrections, and verify that edits were appropriate.
A log is only useful if you can find what you are looking for. Kantivo's audit log is fully searchable and filterable. Narrow results by user, date range, action type, or entity (transactions, accounts, invoices, customers). When an auditor asks "who changed this transaction on March 15th?", you can answer in seconds.
View all changes within a specific time window. Perfect for quarterly reviews, year-end audits, and investigating discrepancies that surfaced during a known period.
Isolate changes made by a specific team member. Useful for reviewing new employee activity, investigating errors, or preparing user-specific audit reports.
Whether you are preparing for a tax audit, satisfying an insurance requirement, or simply maintaining internal controls, the audit log gives you the documentation that compliance demands. GAAP internal control standards and many industry regulations require businesses to maintain records of who accesses and modifies financial data. Kantivo builds that capability directly into the software -- no add-ons, no extra configuration, no additional cost.
Audit log entries are write-once records. They cannot be edited or deleted by any user, including administrators. This immutability is what gives the log its credibility as an independent record of activity.
