The six an auditor asks for
Reports → For the auditor produces all six as a PDF to file and a CSV to re-add, over whatever period they ask for.
Pick the period first. Every file then says on it which workshop, which period, when it was produced, by whom, and how many rows it should hold — which is the only thing that catches a file truncated on the way out.
| Report | What it answers |
|---|---|
| Number sequence and gaps | Is any document number unaccounted for |
| Sales register | Every invoice, cash sale and credit note, tax apart |
| Tax summary | Output tax against input tax, by the rate actually charged |
| Cash book | Money in and out, grouped by how it moved |
| Debtors age analysis | What is owed as at the end of the period |
| Transaction log | Everything anybody did, with who did it |
Taking a file out is itself recorded. The transaction log shows who has been exporting data as well as who has been changing it, which is a question councils ask and most workshop software cannot answer at all.
