Every step is recorded with time stamps, user IDs, and contextual data, ensuring complete visibility and compliance with internal policies and regulatory requirements.

File and format handling

Audit entries include payment file uploads, format transformations, and validations — showing how a payment moved from ERP file to bank-ready format.

Execution and delivery status

All manual edits (e.g. value, beneficiary, template) are logged and traceable, so that deviations from standard flows are clearly visible. The final audit trail shows if and when a payment was sent, via which bank or protocol, and the response status from the bank.
