Feature · Audit log

Every move, on the record.

When the IRS calls, a partner calls, or a former employee calls — the question is the same:“who did this, when?”. TaxSQR’s answer is a single, append-only audit log that captures every consequential action with actor and timestamp.

§ Section I · Coverage

Every move, on the record.

№ 01 · Workflow

Case assignments

Who assigned what to whom, when. Including reassignments and de-assignments.

№ 02 · Pipeline

Stage transitions

Every move from one pipeline / case stage to another, with prior + new state.

№ 03 · Vault

Document uploads & downloads

Upload by uploader, taxpayer ID, presigned URL hash. Downloads by accessor and timestamp.

№ 04 · E-SIGN

E-signatures

Engagement letters and Form 8879 — signer name, email, IP, timestamp.

№ 05 · Access

Permission changes

Role grants, revocations, password resets, MFA enrollments and resets.

№ 06 · AI · ~6s

AI extract events

Each prefill run, the source doc hash, and the preparer’s accept / edit / reject decision per field.

§ Section II · Tamper-evident

Append-only, by database design.

The log table forbids UPDATE and DELETE at the constraint layer. Even an attacker who reaches the database cannot silently redact entries — they would have to truncate, which leaves a gap a forensic auditor can spot.

№ 01
Append-only
Database constraints prevent UPDATE or DELETE on log entries. Even an attacker with DB access cannot silently redact history.
Append-only
№ 02
Per-org export
Owners can export the full audit log as CSV or JSON, scoped to their org, on demand. Useful for SOC 2 evidence or a partner review.
Self-serve
№ 03
Taxpayer transparency
A taxpayer can request a CSV of every action against their own record. Their data, their right to know who touched it.
Transparent
№ 04
Retention forever
Logs are retained for the life of the org. Cancellation triggers a 90-day grace period before deletion, with an export by default.
∞ retention
We no longer reconstruct the timeline. We read it.
