Audit trails and decision logs provide organisations with a complete, time-stamped record of how compliance decisions are made and acted upon. In regulated environments, firms must be able to demonstrate not only the outcome of screening and monitoring activities, but also the data, logic, and actions that led to those outcomes.

Within the Facctum platform, audit trails and decision logs support solutions such as Customer Screening, Payment Screening, and Transaction Monitoring, enabling transparent oversight across the compliance lifecycle.

Why Audit Trails And Decision Logs Are Needed

Regulators and auditors increasingly expect firms to evidence how compliance controls operate in practice. Without comprehensive audit trails, organisations may struggle to explain historical decisions, investigate incidents, or demonstrate effective governance.

Audit trails and decision logs address this challenge by capturing detailed records of screening events, configuration changes, analyst actions, and decision outcomes.

How Audit Trails And Decision Logs Work

Audit trails and decision logs work by recording key events and data points across compliance workflows. These may include screening requests and responses, rule evaluations, probability scores, analyst reviews, approvals, and final decisions.

Each record is time-stamped and linked to the relevant data state, allowing organisations to reconstruct decision paths accurately when required.

What Makes Facctum’s Approach Different

Facctum’s audit trails and decision logs are embedded directly into platform workflows rather than added as an afterthought. Logs are structured, searchable, and aligned with screening, decisioning, and governance processes.

This ensures that auditability is maintained without disrupting operational efficiency.

Where Audit Trails And Decision Logs Are Used

Audit trails and decision logs are applied in scenarios such as:

• Regulatory examinations and audits

• Internal compliance reviews and assurance

• Investigation of alerts and escalations

• Post-incident analysis and reporting

These use cases rely on accurate, complete historical records.

How Audit Trails And Decision Logs Fit Into The Platform

Audit trails and decision logs integrate with other platform capabilities such as configuration as code, explainable scoring, probability-based decisioning, and case management. They provide a unifying layer of transparency across screening, monitoring, and adjudication workflows.

This integration supports consistent governance across the platform.
