Approval Audit Log

Every submission, decision, delegation and reassignment is written to a dedicated audit record in the same transaction as the event it describes, so the log can never drift from the truth.

Illustrative UI only. Data and individuals shown are fictitious; any resemblance to real persons or data is coincidental.

Ten kinds of event

Submissions, approvals, rejections, recalls, delegations, reassignments, added approvers, comments, migrations and bulk approver changes each write their own entry, with the acting person attached.

Handoffs record both people

A delegation logs who passed the request and who received it; a reassignment records the admin, the incoming approver and the outgoing one. Nobody disappears from the story.

Nothing is deleted

Superseded requests are voided, not removed, and each keeps its decision, comment and timestamp, so the trail shows what almost happened as well as what did.

Notifications are evidence too

Every outbound approval message is stored with its channel, template, payload and delivery status, so you can show that an approver was told, when, and with what.

Why we like this one

Audit trails are usually written by a second system a beat after the event, and that beat is where they drift. This one is written by the same transaction that made the change, so there is no gap for the two to disagree in. And the comment model is quietly humane: private among the approvers while a step is being decided, visible once it closes. Candour during, transparency after.
