MIPster the Tipster: Read your audit trails, don’t just store them

Hello friends. Audit trails are more than a compliance checkbox. They are your window into what really happened. A quick review can reveal unusual activity, confirm that entries were posted correctly, and verify that users stayed within their roles. Voided check, changed vendor record, modified payroll entry—your audit trail shows the who, what, when, and before-and-after so you can trust your numbers and fix issues fast.

Here is the tip. Make audit trail reviews a routine, not a once-a-year task. Regular eyes on changes strengthen oversight, protect data integrity, and keep your team accountable.
