Requested by 1,300+ Xero users across three ideas on Xero Product Ideas. Xero's status on all three: "Not in Pipeline." So we're building it as a connected app.

Three reports Xero users keep asking for

Each one sits on Xero's own idea board with hundreds of votes and a "Not in Pipeline" status. AuditLens ships all three.

Audit Trail Report

Every create, edit, approval, void and delete across invoices, bills, credit notes, journals and contacts, with the user and timestamp. Field-level before/after detail from the day you connect.

Mail Log

One org-wide log of every invoice, quote and statement emailed from Xero: recipient, document and date. Settle "the invoice was never sent" disputes in seconds.

Attachment Register

A single report of every transaction and its attached documents and, crucially, the ones missing attachments. Audit prep without opening records one by one.

Built for the people who get asked "who changed this?"

  • Accounting & bookkeeping practices. One dashboard across every client org. Catch client-side edits to reconciled periods before they become a mess.
  • Audited SMBs and nonprofits. Hand your auditor an actual change log instead of screenshots of Xero's per-document history.
  • Franchise & multi-entity groups. See what bookkeepers changed across entities, including voided and deleted transactions.

How it works

  1. 1. Connect. Standard Xero OAuth, read-only scopes. We can't change anything in your org, ever.
  2. 2. Backfill. We import Xero's own history records for your existing documents, then track field-level changes going forward.
  3. 3. Report. Filter by user, date range or document type. Export CSV/PDF, or schedule a weekly digest to your inbox.

Questions accountants ask us

Doesn't Xero already have this?

Not really. Xero keeps per-document "History & Notes," and advisors get a basic History and notes summary screen. But there are no before-and-after values (you can see that something was edited, not what changed), no org-wide email log, and no attachment register. The requests for these have sat on Xero's idea board for years marked "Not in Pipeline." QuickBooks Online ships a native audit log; Xero doesn't.

Can you see changes made before we connect?

Partly, and we're honest about the split: Xero's own history records (created / edited / approved / emailed events with user and date) go back to the start of your org and are all imported. Field-level before/after values are captured from the day you connect onward.

What access do you get to our books?

Read-only OAuth scopes: the connection physically cannot create, edit or delete anything in Xero. Data is encrypted at rest, and you can disconnect from within Xero at any time, which revokes our access entirely.

Are you affiliated with Xero?

No. AuditLens is an independent product built on the public Xero API. Xero is a trademark of Xero Limited; this site and product are not affiliated with, or endorsed by, Xero.

When does it launch?

One-off Audit Packs are available now (that's the same engine the product runs on). The subscription product opens to founding customers first, in waitlist order.
