What the audit trail in Fintra does
When an auditor or investor asks "how do you know that number is right," the honest answer should be a log, not a reconstruction project. Fintra’s audit trail, powered by SentriAI, records every financial action across the platform - journal entries, approvals, payments, AI-drafted actions, and blocked attempts - as it happens, immutably, with actor, timestamp, and context.
- Every posting, approval, and payment logged with actor and timestamp
- AI-drafted actions recorded separately from human-approved ones
- Blocked or denied actions logged, not just successful ones
- Immutable records that cannot be edited or deleted after the fact
Core capabilities
| Capability | What it does | What it replaces |
|---|---|---|
| Full action logging | Records postings, approvals, and payments as they occur | Reconstructing history from scattered system logs |
| AI action tracking | Distinguishes AI-drafted actions from human decisions | No visibility into what AI touched versus a person |
| Blocked-attempt logging | Records denied or policy-blocked actions, not just successes | No record of what was attempted but stopped |
| Immutability | Prevents edits or deletion of historical log entries | Logs that can be altered after the fact |
| Exportable evidence | Produces an organized export for a given period or control | Manually assembling evidence across five systems |
How it works
From action to evidence, automatically
- 1
An action happens
A journal entry posts, a payment releases, an AI agent drafts an entry, or an action is blocked by policy.
- 2
It logs immediately
The event is recorded in real time with actor, timestamp, and relevant context - no batch process or delay.
- 3
It becomes immutable
Once logged, the record cannot be edited or deleted, preserving it exactly as it happened.
- 4
It’s searchable
Find any action by date, actor, module, or transaction to answer a specific question quickly.
- 5
It exports for audit
Pull an organized evidence export for a period or a specific control when an auditor asks.
The record AgentFence relies on
The audit trail is the enforcement record for AgentFence, Fintra’s AI governance layer - every AI agent action, whether allowed and executed or blocked by policy, is logged the same way. This is what makes "AI drafts, a human approves" a verifiable claim rather than a marketing statement: you can see exactly which entries were AI-drafted, which were human-edited before posting, and which AI attempts were stopped outright.
Frequently asked questions
What exactly gets logged in the audit trail?
Every financial action across Fintra: journal entry postings, approvals, payment releases, vendor and bank-detail changes, close task completions, and AI agent actions - both successfully executed and blocked by policy - each with the actor, a timestamp, and relevant context.
Can audit trail entries be edited or deleted?
No. Once an action is logged, the record is immutable - it cannot be altered or removed after the fact. Corrections to a transaction create a new logged action (like a reversing entry or a credit note) rather than modifying the original record.
How does the audit trail show what AI did versus what a human did?
Every AI-drafted action is logged distinctly from a human-initiated one, and if a human edits an AI draft before approving it, both the original AI draft and the final approved version are preserved - so you can always see where AI proposed something and where a person changed it.
Can I export the audit trail for an auditor?
Yes. You can pull an organized export of audit trail entries for a specific period or control, giving an auditor or diligence team a structured evidence set instead of asking them to search through raw logs or reconstruct history from multiple systems.
