Audit Center

The Audit Center gives you a client-wide timeline of important activity in Kraal. It combines operational history across AI tasks, approvals, workflow actions, execution outcomes, and connected accounting activity into one review surface.

Use the Audit Center when you need to answer questions like:

• What happened for this client today?
• Which items were approved, rejected, or resumed?
• What changed in the accounting workflow recently?
• Did activity originate in Kraal or in the connected accounting system?
• Which event should another authorized teammate review?

What appears in the Audit Center

The Audit Center is designed to show meaningful operational events, not every low-level system log. It focuses on events that help a reviewer understand the work, the source, and the next place to inspect.

Typical events include:

• task creation and key status changes
• approval and rejection actions
• workflow resume events after review
• archive and unarchive actions
• posting outcomes
• execution receipts and review-required outcomes
• ERP-originated document activity when available

Each event is grouped into a readable category so the timeline stays easy to scan.

For one live run, use the Audit Trail & Execution Feed guide to decide whether the Execution Feed, Task Detail, Client Audit Center, or firm-wide audit view is the best starting point.

How to use it

1. Select the client you want to review.
2. Open Audit Center from the client workspace.
3. Filter the timeline by date, event family, source system, or search terms.
4. Expand an event to inspect supporting details.
5. Open the event detail page or related task link when you need deeper review context.

Event families

The Audit Center uses event families to organize the timeline:

Event Family	What it represents
AI Task	Task creation, status changes, and execution milestones
Approval	Human review, approval, rejection, and resume actions
ERP Document	Accounting document activity originating from a connected ERP
Security	Access-related activity such as export or print actions when available
Orchestration	Workflow and dispatch context for multi-step automation
Execution	Safe-run receipts, skipped work, retry results, and review-required outcomes

Source systems

Each event also identifies where it came from:

• Kraal — activity initiated or managed inside Kraal
• ERPNext — activity originating from the client's connected ERPNext instance
• QuickBooks — activity mirrored from or related to a connected QuickBooks company when available
• Workflow / automation — orchestration events tied to a multi-step run

This makes it easier to distinguish between a user action in Kraal and a change that originated in the accounting system.

Inspecting event detail

Expand an event when you need more context. Depending on the event, you may see:

• summary and timestamp
• actor information
• related task reference
• related document or entity
• structured detail fields
• before/after state when relevant

The goal is to make operational review faster without forcing you to dig through task logs or leave the current client context.

Some events have a dedicated detail page that can be copied as a permalink. Permalinks are review pointers for authorized users; they do not grant additional access or bypass client scope.

Integrity checks

Where available, Kraal can run an integrity check for the visible client audit trail. Use this when you want a quick signal that the audit sequence appears internally consistent before a handoff, support review, or close checkpoint.

An integrity check is a review aid, not a substitute for firm controls or professional judgment. If Kraal surfaces a gap or anomaly, review the related task, source documents, and connected accounting activity before taking action.

Audit Center vs Task Detail

These two views serve different purposes:

View	Best for
Execution Feed	Following one active automation run or dispatch sweep
Task Detail	Deep inspection of one task, its messages, artifacts, and execution history
Audit Center	Reviewing client-wide history across tasks, approvals, and connected-system activity
Firm-wide Audit	Reviewing recent audit activity across the clients you are allowed to access

If you are investigating one specific AI run, start with Task Detail. If you are reviewing overall activity for a client, start with Audit Center.

ERPNext activity

For ERPNext-backed clients, the Audit Center can include document activity that originates in the client's accounting instance. This helps reviewers understand not only what Kraal initiated, but also what changed in the downstream accounting record.

Examples may include:

• document submitted
• document cancelled
• document updated
• export or print activity, when available

Best practices

• Use the Audit Center during review handoffs so the next team member can understand recent client activity quickly.
• Check the source-system badge before assuming where a change originated.
• Open the related task when you need underlying artifacts or approval context.
• Use filters during close and cleanup periods to narrow the timeline to the work that matters.
• Share event links only with teammates who already have a business need to access that client.
• Avoid copying raw event detail into public or external channels; link to the authorized Kraal view instead.
