Why PO Approval Trails Matter
A broken audit trail on a purchase order is one of the most common findings in a procurement audit. Digital sign-offs, timestamped approvals, and a single source of truth reduce that risk.
What a Good Approval Flow Looks Like
- Site requisition submitted from the field
- Multi-tier approval routing
- Structured PO issuance
- Delivery and payment matching
What counts as an unbroken audit trail?
An unbroken audit trail means every step from requisition to payment settlement is recorded, timestamped, and traceable to a specific approver, with no gaps or manual paper hand-offs.
Does this apply to O&G procurement too?
Yes. The same approval and audit-trail requirements apply to oil & gas procurement teams operating in Malaysia, not just construction.
