Audit log
Every action in Hardfin is automatically logged and reported as an audit event for security and data integrity.
The completeness and accuracy of asset operations and project activity are key requirements for financial auditors in making assertions about a company's financial statements.
Audit logs for an individual record, such as an asset or project, can be viewed on the details page for that individual record. For example, you can easily view the history of a specific asset on the asset details page by selecting the "Audit log" tab.
The collected audit logs for an entire organization can be viewed in the master audit log, which is available to designated user as an option in the dropdown navigation menu at the top right of the screen.
Filtering and viewing audit events
The master audit log can be filtered by date range and by object type (e.g., asset, project, shipment). Use these filters to narrow down the audit events displayed and find the records you need.
The full master audit log table shows all of the audit event detail for easy reference:
Multi-timezone display
Audit log timestamps display in multiple timezones to help teams working across different regions. When you hover over a timestamp in the audit log, a tooltip appears showing the event time in several relevant timezones.
This feature is particularly useful for:
Distributed teams: Quickly understand when events occurred in your local time versus other team members' timezones
Global operations: Track asset movements and project changes across international locations
Compliance reviews: Verify exact timing of events when working with auditors in different regions
The timezone display uses your organization's configured timezone as the primary reference, with additional common timezones shown for context.
Note about deleted records
Audit logs in Hardfin are created permanently and cannot be deleted. This allows an audit trail to be preserved even for other records that are created and deleted over time.
For example, if an asset movement is logged erroneously and then deleted, the movement will no longer appear in Hardfin. But the audit trail will still reflect that a movement was created and was then deleted. This ensures the completeness and accuracy of your business records.
