Accounting Software with Audit Trial

Vignesh P (Company Secretary) (109 Points)

Dear All,

As you all would be knowing, MCA had notified Companies (Accounts) Amendment Rules whereby it was said that every company using accounting software shall use only software which has a feature of recording audit trial for each transaction. There was also a mandate that the audit trial should not be capable of being disabled.

Requesting any one of the esteemed members to clarify if "Tally ERP -9" would have the feature which would meet this compliance requirement.

Thanks in advance

Best Regards,

CS Vignesh P

Tally Erp is used by many accounting professionals , small and midsized enterprises . Option is already there.

But MCA notification is applicable to companies only & not to non corporate assessees

Tally is widely used even by professionals but other softwares are industry specific and for large organisations

Hi all... thank you for your valuable inputs and time. The essence of the question was if Tally ERP 9 version would meet the compliance requirement.

Request you to kindly share your views on this.

Thank you sir. Just to clarify - To my understanding such setting in Tally is capable of being "Disabled" whereas the rule specifically mentions that the feature should not be capable of being disabled. Will it still suffice Sir?

No , intent of law is ,"Log Details / Audit Trail" should be embedded feature in software ,if in tally Audit feature is enabled & can't be disabled ,then it's in compliance else not ..
