Building financial software auditors trust

Security and retention are not features you bolt on later. A look at the controls that make Ogbadu deployments audit-ready by default.

Trust in financial software is earned through controls, not marketing claims. Auditors want evidence: who accessed what, when, and under whose authority.

Every Recon Pilot deployment logs an immutable audit trail, enforces segregation of duties in sign-off, and supports configurable data retention with legal-hold exemptions for signed records. These are not add-ons; they are the foundation.

The Big 4 set the bar here. Deloitte and PwC audit methodologies lean heavily on SOC 2 controls and clear evidence of segregation of duties, while EY and KPMG both stress data privacy and retention discipline when they assess a client's systems. We built to that bar deliberately.

We also treat privacy as a first-class capability: self-serve data export, account deletion, and consent controls so our clients can honor their own customers' rights. For anyone handling financial data at scale, that is simply table stakes.

See it in practice

Recon Pilot puts these ideas to work with autonomous matching, explainable decisions, and audit-ready sign-off.
