Campfire ensures that all key close deliverables, including journal entries, reconciliations, and reports, go through defined review and approval workflows. Each item is routed to the appropriate reviewers based on its type, value, department, and entity. Approvers receive full supporting documentation within the platform, allowing them to review and take action without relying on email or separate systems. This creates a consistent and controlled process that reduces compliance risk and improves the quality of financial outputs.
Campfire supports both sequential and parallel approval workflows, allowing teams to match their review structure. Sequential approvals ensure each stage is completed before the next begins, while parallel reviews allow multiple stakeholders to assess work at the same time. Role-based permissions define who can approve different items, based on responsibility and authority levels. The system enforces segregation of duties by preventing individuals from approving their own work, ensuring proper oversight for material items.
Campfire records every approval action with full detail, including reviewer identity, timestamps, decisions, and comments. When items are rejected or revised, the system tracks changes through each step until final approval. This creates a complete audit trail that supports both internal controls and external audit requirements. Finance teams can demonstrate that all critical deliverables were reviewed correctly, with clear evidence of how decisions were made throughout the close process.
