Evidence and audit

Every figure with its document, every change on record.

Invoices, meter readings and records are attached to the figures they support. When the report is ready for review, Audit Ready records a baseline and keeps a log of every later change.

From document to review

The Evidence screen of the EnvironmentalReport app with attached documents and their review
Documents attached to the figures they support, with a review of where each one is used.
  • Evidence linked to fields

    Attach a file, photo or scan to a specific field, review where it is used and choose whether it goes into the PDF appendix or the ZIP package.

  • Email attachments as evidence

    Link attachments from a connected mailbox directly to the figures they support.

  • Audit Ready

    A confirmed baseline of data, report, evidence and calculations for the year. Later report PDFs carry the badge and the change log.

  • Independent review

    Calculation workpapers and a review package for a provider from the trusted list, whose signed review you import back.

Evidence you can rely on

Each document has a title, the fields it supports, a document type and a note on the period or page. Review records whether a figure has been transcribed and whether the evidence is complete; a document from another period or an unreadable scan does not count as proof.

Documents are copied into the project with a SHA-256 fingerprint and linked to the figures they support, so a recipient can check that a file has not changed.

Audit Ready and the change log

Create Audit Ready PDF is a deliberate decision for one reporting year. The data stay editable, but every later report PDF keeps the Audit Ready badge and the change log, so it is always visible that figures changed.

Audit Ready means the report is ready for review with changes tracked. It is not an auditor's signature.

Independent calculation and methodology review

Calculation workpapers export the activity data, factors and evidence fingerprints as a PDF index, Excel and CSV. For an independent review, choose a provider from the trusted list, export the review package after sign-off and import the signed review when it is returned; the app checks it against the exact version of the report.

Frequently asked questions

Is Audit Ready an audit?

No. It records a baseline and tracks changes so that a reviewer can see what changed. Independent assurance comes from an authorised provider.

Which files can we attach?

Documents such as PDF invoices, photos and scans. On iPhone and iPad you can photograph or scan a document directly.

Do recipients receive all our documents?

No. Only the documents you include in the PDF appendix or the ZIP package.
