Approval Workflows

Approval workflows with controls built in.

Rivane routes every transaction to the right approver by threshold and rule, enforces segregation of duties, and records who approved what and when, controls that live in the system, not in a policy document.

01

Route by rule

Every transaction reaches the right approver by amount, entity, department, or category.

02

Segregation enforced

Preparers cannot approve their own work, blocked by the system, not by policy.

03

Audit trail by default

Every approval, rejection, and comment is logged with owner and timestamp.

Controls that enforce themselves

Routing, thresholds, and segregation of duties applied on every transaction.

Threshold-based routing

Route by amount, so larger transactions get more eyes.

Multi-level approvals

Chain approvers in sequence or in parallel as policy requires.

Segregation of duties

Preparers cannot approve their own work, enforced at the system.

Delegation and backup

Route around absences without breaking the control.

Full audit trail

Every approval, rejection, and comment is logged.

Configurable policies

Set rules by entity, department, vendor, or category.

Routing

The right approver, every time

Rivane routes each transaction by amount, entity, department, or category to the approver your policy names. Larger amounts escalate automatically, and nothing sits in the wrong queue.

Segregation of duties

A control that cannot be bypassed

Preparers and approvers are kept separate by the system, not by convention. Conflicting roles are blocked, and delegation for absences preserves the separation instead of quietly breaking it.

  • Preparer and approver kept separate
  • Conflicting roles blocked
  • Safe delegation and backup approvers

Audit trail

Every decision on the record

Each approval, rejection, and comment is captured with the owner, timestamp, and the state of the transaction at the time, so auditors can see exactly how each item cleared.

  • Owner and timestamp on every action
  • Rejections and comments captured
  • Export-ready control evidence

One workflow engine, every control your policy needs

Move between routing, controls, and evidence, all enforced on live transactions.

The right approver, every time

Route each transaction by amount, entity, department, or category to the approver your policy names. Larger amounts escalate to additional reviewers automatically, and nothing sits in the wrong queue.

How it works

From submission to signed-off with evidence

Each step runs on the live transaction, so the control and its proof happen together.

"When our auditors asked how approvals were controlled, we used to dig through inboxes. Now segregation of duties is enforced at the system and the evidence exports in a click."
