Due diligence
Questions to ask DualEntry in a demo
The same ten questions apply to every vendor in the landscape. Make DualEntry answer them live, in the system, on your data where possible.
Q1
Show me the audit trail for an AI-generated journal entry.
If the AI auto-posts entries, your auditors will want to see exactly what triggered it, what data it used, and how it arrived at the amount. A clean audit trail is non-negotiable for SOX environments.
Q2
What happens to my data if your company shuts down next year?
These are venture-backed startups. Some will not survive. You need to understand data portability, escrow arrangements, and export formats before you sign.
Q3
Can I run your system in parallel with my existing GL for 90 days?
Parallel running is the gold standard for ERP migration. Any vendor that resists this request is optimizing for their sales cycle over your risk management.
Q4
Which Big 4 or national audit firm has signed off on your controls?
SOC 2 Type II is the minimum. But what you really want to know is whether a major audit firm has actually examined the system in a client engagement. Ask for the reference.
Q5
Walk me through a multi-entity consolidation with intercompany eliminations.
This is where simple demos break down. Real-world consolidations involve currency translation, minority interests, and elimination entries. Make them show it live, not in slides.
Q6
What does '24-hour migration' actually include?
Data migration is one piece. What about chart of accounts mapping, historical reporting continuity, user training, parallel testing, and auditor sign-off? Decompose the timeline into its real components.
Q7
How do your AI models handle edge cases and exceptions?
AI that works 95% of the time still means 5% of transactions need human review. Understand the exception workflow, how exceptions are flagged, and what the override process looks like.
Q8
Show me your permissions model for a SOX-compliant environment.
Segregation of duties, approval workflows, period locks, role-based access. These are not optional for public companies or companies preparing for an IPO. Ask to see the actual configuration, not a feature list.
Q9
What integrations are native versus built on Zapier or generic APIs?
13,000 integrations sounds impressive until you learn 12,900 of them are through a third-party connector platform. Native integrations are real-time and reliable. Generic ones break.
Q10
Can I speak with a CFO at a company your size who has been live for 6+ months?
The most important reference is a company at a similar stage to yours that has been through at least one full audit cycle on the new platform. Accept nothing less.
