Overview
Audit entries would describe eligibility decisions, intent creation and state updates without exposing bank secrets. They should allow a reviewer to distinguish requested actions from confirmed outcomes.
Key concepts
Capture actor, source decision, resource version and correlation identifiers. Link provider evidence through authorized references.
Implementation considerations
Retention and integrity controls need verification before any guarantee is published. Sample audit events are fabricated solely for documentation.
Proposed API behavior
GET /v1/reimbursements/{reimbursement_id}/audit-logs is an illustrative design for this topic. Path and field names may change before implementation. Access would require an authorized organization context and operation-specific permission; no public API or authorization grant is available here.
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| reimbursement_idrequired | string | Stable fictional reimbursement reference; not a secret and not evidence that a resource exists. |
No additional request fields are illustrated; this is not a finalized contract.
Static example requests
# Proposed request text only; this reserved host is not a live API.

Fictional documentation data only. No request was sent, record created, review performed, payment initiated or provider connection activated.

Review this failure case in context: Retention and integrity controls need verification before any guarantee is published. Sample audit events are fabricated solely for documentation.
Synthetic diagnostic example. Human-readable messages must not be used as stable programmatic contracts.
