In a perfect world, our documentation for paper trails at audit time would be plentiful and flawless. But then, in a perfect world, who would need audits anyway?
In our real world, prone to errors and mishaps, audits are critical in finding the weaknesses in business processes before those weaknesses cause major setbacks that threaten compliance. The trails you leave throughout the year that reflect your activity and changes provide a wealth of information for your auditors and your team.
While every business strives to achieve perfection in documentation and changes, these goals are easier set than achieved. Manually teasing out all the changes made in the system isn’t always easy, and in the face of last-minute crunch time tasks, proactive documentation is often the first to go.
Intacct is savvy to all the ways financial systems experience data modification and the common trouble areas where businesses see pitfalls in notating, retrieving, storing and reporting that data. Intacct’s key audit feature, Audit Trail, aims to reduce potential errors or missing modification trails, to offer clear notes and reports within Intacct to reflect them.
To ensure you are getting the most value from Intacct’s audit features, discover what you can do in Intacct’s Audit Trail, and on your own, to strengthen your paper trail before your next audit catches you off-guard.
