Audit Trail of who approved leave would be valuable

This is just one of the reasons Xero is not a match for Sage, especially as they are now starting to increase their pricing yet not upgrading their product to match.

I absolutely agree with this, we have just changed from Sage to Xero, and one of my team has posted things back into a prior month because I wasn't quick enough to lock the dates. I've spent hours this morning trying to identify these transactions and haven't quite managed it which is really frustrating. With Sage, it was actually very easy to do.

It's bizarre that Xero has implemented an audit history table for payroll data, but only in Australia!

Until this is rolled out worldwide, it's also unhelpful that the Xero Central article on the feature (About Payroll History) makes no reference to this limitation.

As our department grows, we need the ability to see when changes were made and who made them.

I would like to be able to see if someone changes the name and the ABN of a file - it seems you can't track this through the audit trail which is frustrating. I think that it is very necessary to know this information.

A payroll audit trail is a must. We are currently investigating an increase in pay which has not been documented and have not been able to determine who made the increase

Cannot believe there is still no Audit trail available when it has been requested for more than 3 years. This is why Xero still lags behind Sage: perhaps if the marketing budget was diverted to creating this very basic report they would notice an uptick in Business users.

Having an audit trail on XPM for Jobs and clients would be amazing, at the moment if something has changed something or a job is re-opened there is zero visibility of who it was, if we had that information there would be a lot less assumptions and we could fix errors more quickly and confidently.

We have clients reluctant to switch from Sage as they like an audit trail report to see what has been posted and, whilst you can find things in Xero when you are used to it, - it is not an easy report to pull off when there are multiple users

Totally agree! A proper audit trail is essential. Your suggestions for the report are spot-on. It's so frustrating when prior year data changes.

An Audit Trail Report is crucial for advisors to maintain transparency and accuracy in financial records. 🔍 Adding features like an 'edited date' column, unique transaction IDs, and full audit history ensures compliance and prevents discrepancies. Just like Sleek Bill simplifies invoicing with detailed tracking, a robust audit trail enhances financial integrity! https://www.billingsoftware.in/

Audit trail for client records in XPM. We have many duplicated client files and it would be very beneficial to see how these client files were created.

Especially account codes in the Chart of Accounts

I just pray we don't get audited by CRA. And for us it's not payroll, but invoicing, billing, HST.

Particular need for changes in Payroll - leave and personal details

No Audit log and this request is 12 years old... kind of scary.

We urgently require a complete audit trail report. Specifically on Timesheet, leave and the whole payroll section. There is no history/tracking in the whole payroll section as to who has actioned what and with Xero's limitations on payroll approvers, it is imperative an audit trail is implemented asap.

This is a basic assurance requirement. I've used a lot of other systems and I'm disappointed with Xero's payroll and timesheet capabilities they are unacceptable I advise businesses to steer clear of Xero if they have payroll or timesheet requirements for their business.

You should be able to see the audit trail by account code, by posting date, so you can track why the balance has moved from any previous published reconciliation
