Now keep it safe: three things
  1. Keep your photos and files unedited. The receipt only matches the originals. Put them in an album such as “My records”.
  2. Save this receipt to your camera roll.

    Keep the receipt file too. The image is a handy copy; checking needs the file.

  3. Email it to yourself.Email it to myself

    Your mail app opens a draft. Attach your receipt image and receipt file. Don’t attach your photos or documents. Timevolt does not send it or know whether it was sent.

      How to keep notes that hold up

      Write notes as soon as you can. Keep the original account rather than replacing it later; the venue decides what weight it gets.

      1. Write it down straight away, on paper or in the box on a step.
      2. Put the date, time and place at the top, and who you spoke to.
      3. Use their words where you can; separate what you saw from what you were told.
      4. Sign or initial a paper note, photograph it and add the photo.
      5. Never edit an old note. Add a new dated entry when something changes. A device save time is not independent time evidence or proof of event order.

      Do not add late audit files in secret

      Related: late audit work papers

      Proves / Doesn’t prove

      Proves

      A completed time receipt shows that the exact selected file existed by the independently witnessed time. You can check whether a later copy has the same bytes. It does not establish creation time, authorship, identity, event order, location or the truth of the contents.

      Doesn’t prove

      It does not prove the report query was right, that the list was complete or accurate against the source system, who ran it, or that an auditor will accept it.

      The receipt cannot show the population was complete, the query was right, or an auditor accepted the sample.

      These are the bounds of a completed proof. The local tester does not establish any time. The chosen court, scheme or regulator decides what to accept.

      Questions, answered plainly.

      Your file stays on your device. During normal receipt creation, your device sends a randomized code made from its fingerprint, plus encrypted recovery data. It doesn't send the plain fingerprint or the random value that opens the code. Keep the original file and the complete receipt for checking. Privacy Policy.

      Will my auditor accept a Timevolt receipt for the population list?

      We cannot say. A receipt shows the exact file existed by a given time; the auditor still decides what evidence they need and tests completeness and accuracy themselves. Ask them first.

      Does a time receipt prove the list is complete?

      A completed time receipt shows that the exact selected file existed by the independently witnessed time. You can check whether a later copy has the same bytes. It does not establish creation time, authorship, identity, event order, location or the truth of the contents.

      Does Timevolt see my report or employee data?

      Your file stays on your device. During normal receipt creation, your device sends a randomized code made from its fingerprint, plus encrypted recovery data. It doesn't send the plain fingerprint or the random value that opens the code. Keep the original file and the complete receipt for checking.

      What should I seal besides the list itself?

      Seal the query or report settings, the export file, the row count, and the sample draw (seed and selected rows). Each is its own file with its own receipt.

      What if I have to re-run the report?

      Seal the new run as a separate receipt and keep the old one. Two receipts with different fingerprints show that the list changed between runs, which you should explain rather than hide.

      Why not just save the file in a locked folder?

      A locked folder shows your policy, but the date is your own system's clock. A time receipt adds a date from an independent authority.

      How long are audit records kept?

      For auditors of US-listed issuers, seven years after the audit under SEC rule 17 CFR 210.2-06. Your own policy may differ.
