Yes. Bank Audit History tracks every change to supplier bank details — who changed what, when, and why. A full audit report can be generated at any time, giving you a clear audit trail for fraud prevention and internal controls.
Not currently. Archive & Reporting works within a single Lightyear account, giving you a detailed breakdown of activity per entity. Parent-level reporting (group reporting) across multiple entities isn't available.
You can run a date-based search — filtering by due date, for example — to confirm everything processed through Lightyear has been received in your accounting software. If the report comes back as ‘archived’, everything has cleared successfully.
