Audit log

Overview

The Audit log provides a detailed history of events, such as actions or changes, that takes place in your Skovik account. The system logs each event with a name (for example, user.create or report.approve) to identify the specific type of activity. This enables the tracing of employee activity and system changes throughout your organisation.

How the audit log helps

• Tracking changes - see exactly who created, updated, or deleted employees, reports or settings. There is also a dedicated history view on each report providing similar functionality.

• Ensuring transparency - maintain a clear record of all actions for accountability and compliance. It's common for auditors to require that systems impacting bookkeeping has an immutable record of changes taking place within the system, and the audit log provides this.

• Troubleshooting issues - find out what happened and when, if something looks incorrect or unexpected.

When to use the audit log

• You need to verify who performed a specific action (for example, who approved or deleted a report).

• You want to investigate recent employee or settings changes, such as when a new user was added or a cost center was updated.

• You are performing internal audits or compliance checks.

• You want to review login sessions to ensure correct access and identify unusual activity.

• You need to track exports or integrations (manual or API-based) to ensure data consistency.
