Audit and compliance
Show who decided each business rule, why, and when it last changed.
Auditors and regulators ask a question systems cannot answer on their own: who decided this, and on what basis?
What AppThentic gives audit, risk and compliance teams
- A decision trail for each rule: the reason, the owner, the approval date, and every change since.
- Evidence links to the PR, ticket or document behind each answer.
- Honest gaps. Rules without an owner or an approved reason are listed, not hidden.
- Stale controls. Rules whose code changed after approval are flagged until their owner re-confirms them.
Typical uses
- Preparing for an audit of credit, refund, pricing or eligibility rules.
- Showing that a control is still in place, and who stands behind it.
- Answering “when did this change, and who approved it?” without reconstructing it from commit history.
Why it holds up
Every fact carries its source and status, and disagreements stay visible as Disputed. Nothing is approved by inference. The trail itself is logged: who asked, who answered, who approved, and when. See Access and audit trail.
