Evidence Pack
Hand your CA books that answer their own questions
The Evidence Pack is a one-click export of a period's books with everything an accountant or auditor asks for: each entry, its receipt, the bank line it settled, the GST match and the full change history.
What's inside
- Entry register — every approved entry, with ledger, party, GST and TDS.
- Source documents — the bill, invoice or receipt behind each entry, linked by ID.
- Bank and card reconciliation — every statement line and what settled it.
- GST report — GSTR-2B match, mismatches and decisions.
- Open items — anything still unresolved, with reasons.
- Change log — who drafted, approved or changed what and when, from the Tamper-Evident Trail.
What does the Companies Act require for audit trails?
Since 1 April 2023, companies using accounting software must use software that records an audit trail of every change, which cannot be disabled, and keep it for the statutory retention period (Companies (Accounts) Rules, Rule 3(1); Companies Act Section 128(5): 8 years). BoringAccounts records every draft, approval and edit in a hash-chained log sealed daily, and includes it in the Evidence Pack.
Questions
Can my CA open it without a BoringAccounts account?
Yes. It's a downloadable bundle. CA firms on the Practice plan can also open it live.
Does it replace a statutory audit?
No. It makes the audit faster by giving the auditor evidence up front.
