“With Keka, manual dependency was reduced a lot. For example, when I started running payroll as an HR, I had the option to add comments for different entries and transactions. In the later months, when an audit was being carried out by new accountants, they did not get back to me asking for details of these transactions because the comments had given them complete clarity.”
