Audit Trail
An immutable, time-stamped record of every operationally significant action taken in a regulated cannabis facility — who did what, when, on which object, and (where required) with which witness — that can be produced on demand during an inspection.
What an audit trail is in cannabis
An audit trail is the recorded history of every action that affects regulated activity — taken by either a system or a human. It's how operators answer the inspector's question "show me what happened on the third Tuesday of last month" with evidence, not memory.
A defensible audit trail is:
- Immutable — events cannot be edited or deleted after the fact
- Time-stamped — accurate to the second, ideally to a single trusted clock
- Attributed — tied to a specific user identity, not a shared login
- Retained — for the period the state requires (typically 3–7 years)
What it must cover
- SOP acknowledgments and version changes
- Inventory movements and reconciliation actions
- Inspections, violations, and corrective actions
- Access events for restricted areas
- Training completions and expirations
- Document uploads, revisions, and access
Why it matters to compliance
Most violation findings come down to "you couldn't prove the thing you said happened." A complete audit trail is the difference between a clean inspection and a fine. Verdaxi treats the audit trail as a first-class artifact — every state change in the platform is recorded, attributed, time-stamped, and exportable for inspector review.
Compliance is the entry point. The platform is the destination.
