Real-time auditability refers to the capability of a system, particularly a blockchain or distributed ledger, to provide immediate and continuous access to verifiable transaction records and financial data for auditing purposes. This means that financial activities can be monitored and assessed as they occur, rather than relying on periodic, retrospective reviews. The transparent and immutable nature of blockchain technology inherently supports this feature. It significantly enhances accountability and reduces the potential for fraud.
Context
