Audit Trails

An audit trail is a chronological record of system activities to enable the reconstruction and examination of the sequence of events and/or changes in an event.

Risks:
  • Erroneous or fraudulent transactions may not be detected.
Controls:
  • All systems should have a log of transactions processed, who processed them and the date they were processed.
