The Accounting Audit Log

How Seayora’s immutable, append-only audit log records every accounting action for accountability and trust.

The audit log is an immutable, append-only record of every accounting action — who did what, when.

What it captures

The entity affected (journal entry, policy, invoice, bill, payment).
The action taken and a summary.
The actor and timestamp.

Because entries can’t be edited or deleted, the log provides accountability across a team and a trail you can filter by entity type. It’s for your records and is not a substitute for an external audit.

Exporting the audit log

You can export a filtered slice of the audit log — by date range or entity type — for your own records or to share with an accountant or auditor who wants to see the trail behind a set of numbers.

Why it can’t be edited

An audit log that could be changed after the fact wouldn’t prove anything. Append-only means every entry, including mistakes that were later corrected, stays visible — the correction shows up as a new entry rather than erasing the old one.

Frequently asked questions

Can I search the audit log for a specific person’s actions?

Yes — filter by actor alongside entity type to see everything a specific team member did, useful for onboarding review or investigating an unexpected change.

Does the audit log slow down the accounting suite?

No — logging happens automatically in the background as part of every action, with no extra steps required from you.

Is the audit log visible to every staff member?

Access is typically limited to owners and admin-level roles, since the log can reveal sensitive activity across the whole company.
