Compliance That Runs Inside Your Finance System
Powered by SentriAI, Fintra enforces controls where transactions happen, collects evidence as work gets done, and keeps an audit trail you never have to reconstruct.
Illustrative product view
What compliance in Fintra does
Bolt-on compliance tools ask you to prove what happened in other systems. Fintra’s compliance module, powered by SentriAI, sits inside the system where the transactions actually occur - so controls are enforced at the moment of action, and evidence is captured as a byproduct of doing the work rather than as a separate project before an audit.
- Controls enforced in-line: approval thresholds, segregation of duties, change management
- Evidence collection that happens automatically as transactions are processed
- A complete, tamper-evident audit trail across accounting, payroll, AP, and expenses
- AgentFence governance defining what AI agents are allowed to do across the platform
Core capabilities
| Capability | What it does | What it replaces |
|---|---|---|
| Control enforcement | Blocks or escalates actions that violate defined controls | Policy documents nobody checks |
| Evidence collection | Captures approvals, logs, and artifacts as work happens | Pre-audit evidence scrambles |
| Audit trail | Records every financial action with actor, time, and context | Log exports stitched across tools |
| Exception management | Routes control failures to owners with due dates | Findings lost in email |
| AI governance | AgentFence policies bound what each AI agent may do | Ungoverned automation scripts |
How it works
From control definition to audit day
- 1
Define controls
Pick from common financial controls - approval thresholds, duty segregation, close checklists - and tune them to your policies.
- 2
Enforce in-line
Controls run inside every workflow: a payment that needs dual approval simply cannot be released with one.
- 3
Collect evidence
Each control execution stores its evidence automatically - who approved, what was checked, when it happened.
- 4
Review exceptions
Failures become assigned exceptions with owners and due dates, reviewed on a regular cadence.
- 5
Hand the auditor the trail
At audit time, export the period’s evidence and audit trail instead of reconstructing it.
Governing the AI itself
When AI agents post entries, categorize expenses, and prepare filings, the agents themselves become a compliance surface. AgentFence addresses this directly: it defines per-agent policies for what each AI is allowed to do, what requires human approval, and what is forbidden outright. Every agent action - allowed or blocked - lands in the SentriAI audit trail.
AI governance controls in Fintra
- Per-agent permissions: what each AI module can read, draft, and execute
- Mandatory human approval gates on payments, filings, and journal postings
- Complete logs of every AI action, including blocked attempts
- Policy versioning, so you can show which rules were in force at any time
When to adopt it
- You’re heading into your first financial audit or SOC 2 process and evidence lives everywhere
- Investors or acquirers are asking how financial controls and AI usage are governed
- One person can currently both create and approve payments - and you know that’s a risk
- You’re adopting AI in finance and need to demonstrate it operates under defined controls
Frequently asked questions
What does SentriAI-powered compliance actually mean?
SentriAI is the control and audit layer inside Fintra. It enforces the controls you define at the moment of action, collects evidence automatically as transactions are processed, and maintains the tamper-evident audit trail across modules - so compliance is a property of the system rather than a separate tool bolted on.
How does Fintra govern what AI agents can do?
Through AgentFence, Fintra’s AI governance layer. Each agent operates under explicit policies defining what it may read, draft, and execute, with mandatory human approval on consequential actions like payments and filings. Every agent action, including blocked attempts, is logged with the policy version in force.
Does this replace our auditor or compliance consultant?
No - it makes working with them dramatically faster. Auditors still perform the audit, but instead of your team reconstructing evidence across five tools, you hand over an organized trail of control executions, approvals, and artifacts for the period. Preparation shrinks from weeks to days.
Can I customize controls to our own policies?
Yes. Start from common financial controls - approval thresholds, segregation of duties, close checklists - and adjust amounts, roles, and scopes to match your policies. Control definitions are versioned, so you can always show which configuration was active during any period an auditor asks about.
