Permissions - Auditor roles that allows read only access to everything

We're auditors and some of our clients are having issues around providing consistent access to everything as they don't want us to have read-write access, and we don't want that either. What we'd like is a user class for auditors/regulators which is read only and allows access to everything.

    Australia PayDay Super 01/07/26

    The upcoming Pay-Day Super is exacerbating the Franchisors’ legal liability on Franchisee’s payroll compliance (Part 4-1A of the Fair Work Act 2009 for certain contraventions of workplace laws (including the NES) committed by franchisees, where specific criteria are met).
    I have no issues with a Franchisor monitoring compliance. It could even be easy and painless by providing the Franchisor a “Read only” access to “Payroll”.
    Unfortunately, and as confirmed today in payroll discussion “Set up "read only" payroll access for Franchisor” this is not an option: limited for staff or full access only.
    We possibly be audited as well, another reason to support urgent changes and implementation of read only access to various items.

    These would provide us access without the risk of accidentally changing something on the clients file.

    I agree it would make it easier for our clients as we have to get advisor access at present to be able to carry out our work. We need to be able to access payroll for a start, and to be able to follow transactions through from the GL to the bank statement, i.e. follow the audit trail from reports through the system to the bank or the journal etc. I would also love a payroll report that matched the gross wages filed at IRD to be readily available as I have to customise a report and it is a real pain when needing to reconcile Xero payroll gross wages to the IRD filings.

    Hello there, have you considered using Control-C‘s platform as it is all ‘read only’ with daily versioning of all transactions? We have a lot of data forensic experts and auditors using our service. If you’re interested send me an email to campbell@control-c.com
