How it works
Attested Accounts is designed so that every write to a sealed financial record will be Ed25519-signed at the moment it happens, using the same signing and anchoring infrastructure already running across this company's platform today — an evidence layer beside your existing accounting records, not a new ledger. Sealing for financial records has not been built; the table below names exactly what is and isn't.
- Key Takeaways:
- Nothing on this page is running yet. Sealing, once built, will sign a record's write the moment it happens and anchor the signature so an undetected change afterwards is detectable.
- Sealing shows a record has not been silently altered since it was signed — it does not show that what the record says is true, complete, or lawful.
- Financial records carry a statutory retention requirement most other records don't, which changes what "erasure" can mean here — a design question the operator has not yet settled, not one this page answers.
What's running today
| Piece | Status |
|---|---|
| Signing and anchoring infrastructure (Ed25519 signatures, scheduled external anchoring) | Running today — for other record types on this company's platform. |
| That infrastructure applied to invoices, quotes, recurring-invoice templates, expenses and time entries | Not built |
| An on-demand, independently timestamped receipt for a single sealed record | Not built |
| A page showing a record's sealed history (who wrote it, when) | Not built |
What sealing will do, once built
When a financial record is created or changed, the write will be hashed and signed under the tenant's own key at that moment, and the signature anchored externally on a schedule. A later reviewer will be able to check that a record matches what was signed, and that nothing in the sealed history has been silently replaced. This is the same evidentiary property this company's other products already carry today, designed for financial records specifically — not a claim that any given figure or entry is itself correct.
Financial records and statutory retention
Ordinary personal records can usually be erased on request. Financial records commonly cannot to the same extent — record-keeping law in New Zealand sets minimum periods some records must be kept for. Exactly what "erasure" can mean for a sealed financial record, and how it is reconciled with those retention periods, is a design decision reserved to the operator and not yet made. This page does not state that conclusion in advance of it being made.
Who built it
Attested Accounts is a planned product from My Digital Sovereignty Ltd, the New Zealand company also responsible for the Village community platform, the AI Visibility Auditor and MIO° Conduct Record. See about for the company and its wider product range.
