Transaction Audit Report

The Transaction Audit report allows you to produce a report detailing information on who performed a particular transaction and when that action took place (date and time)

The date ranges specified are the dates of when the activity in Liberty Accounts took place not the dates given to the transaction.



Transaction Audit Criteria

When a transaction is created it is given a unique sequence number.The series started at "1" and increments by 1 as each transaction is entered. An update to the transaction retains the same sequence number and the audit report shows both the original details and any changes and a confirmation if it is deleted.

The transaction audit report can be viewed by date criteria as described below but also as a listing in sequence number, this would allow a reviewer to confirm there are no gaps in the sequence from day one.

When viewing the transaction audit report the date window can be used in two ways.

  • "By Edit Date" will include transactions updated by users within the date range.
  • "By Transaction Date" will include transactions according to the transaction date.
  • Note that when viewing by transaction date you will get a partial history of the audit trail if the transaction date has been updated for a transaction and any version of the record has a transaction date outside of the date window defined for the report.

    Date Range

    You can specify a date range for the transaction. Dates can either be entered manually or selected from the pop-up calendar by clicking on the calendar icon. Dates must be entered in the format DD/MM/YYYY, for example, 01/01/2000.

    When entering dates manually, a date guessing routine speeds up the input by taking the user input and assuming the missing month and or year based on the current date as the user leaves the field i.e.

    the date today is 30th October 2009
