Connected to the ledger
Every sensitive action has context, ownership, and history.
What this changes

Transaction locking
See when periods and records are locked before changes become control issues
Some controls matter most after the work is posted. NewLedger helps teams make transaction locks visible so reviewers know when activity is protected and where exceptions need deliberate handling.
- Show lock rules in a way finance teams can actually review
- Reduce accidental changes to already-closed activity
- Keep control settings close to operational accounting work
Control visibility
Give finance leaders a clearer view of protected periods and control status
Governance works better when it is visible in the daily workflow. NewLedger surfaces transaction-lock status and control posture in a way that supports review instead of hiding it in back-office settings.
- Support stronger review discipline across accounting periods
- Keep protected activity easier to identify during close
- Make controls feel operational instead of theoretical
Violation activity
See where locked-period changes or control exceptions need attention
Controls are more credible when the team can see attempted changes, exception activity, and the records that triggered review. NewLedger makes that visible in the normal finance workflow.
- Spot attempted changes against protected records
- Give reviewers context before approving exceptions
- Support stronger close discipline without losing operating speed
Activity history
Keep authentication and workflow activity visible when teams need proof
Finance controls do not stop at record settings. NewLedger also makes activity history easier to review so teams can explain who acted, what changed, and when follow-up is required.
- Review user activity and control-related actions in one place
- Support internal oversight with clearer operational history
- Make audit follow-up easier when finance needs evidence quickly
Connected access
Review consent and connected-access decisions with the same control mindset
When external tools or agent workflows need access, finance teams still need clear consent, scope, and approval context. NewLedger keeps that decision visible instead of treating it like a hidden technical step.
- Make consent scope readable before access is granted
- Support safer MCP and connected-tool workflows
- Keep operational access decisions aligned with finance controls
Connected apps
See every connected application from one reviewable control surface
Once access is granted, teams still need a clear place to review what is connected, who approved it, and whether the integration still belongs in the finance workflow.
- Review connected apps without digging through technical settings
- Keep integration oversight closer to finance operations
- Make it easier to revisit access decisions as controls evolve
Connected clients
Manage connected clients and OAuth access with clearer operational visibility
Connected-client oversight matters when teams need to understand which external accounts are active, what they can reach, and whether that access still matches policy.
- Track active connected clients from one list
- Support safer access reviews as integrations grow
- Give finance and operations a more understandable control record
