Why does an immigration case need an audit trail?
Reviewed by the Settio team · Updated
Because authorities and auditors ask years later what was checked, when and by whom. An audit trail shows every decision, document and change on the case, which protects both the employer and the adviser.
In detail
- Who changed what, and when.
- Which documents were verified.
- Rule changes applied, and who confirmed them.
How Settio helps
