Journals that import cleanly into your accounting system
AuditLease produces format-compatible CSV files for Xero and Sage 50 today, with more UK SMB and mid-market accounting systems planned. No double-keying. No bespoke reformatting. No certification overhead. We keep your journals, you keep your GL.
Compatible exports, not API integrations
Every system has its own column layout, encoding, and tax-code convention. For the systems that are live, AuditLease produces the file in the shape each system’s import wizard expects, so the journals you generate from our calculation engine flow into your books with no manual reformatting and no surprises at month-end.
We deliberately don’t build OAuth or API connectors; those need vendor certification, ongoing support, and revenue-share agreements that add cost without adding value. The format-compatibility approach gives you the same outcome (clean journals in your GL) with none of that overhead.
Supported systems
Seven accounting systems: two live, five planned
Map each lease-accounting line type to your chart of accounts once per legal entity. Pick the format on export; for a live system AuditLease produces a file in its import layout. ‘Live’ adapters ship today. For ‘Planned’ formats you can prepare the account mapping now, but the export is not available until each one clears sandbox verification.
Manual Journal CSV with Tracking Categories. Imports as draft.
SMBUK Nominal Journal CSV (Windows-1252). T9 tax code emitted explicitly.
SMBBatch CSV journal import. Mapping configurable today.
SMBIIF format for the legacy desktop install base.
SMBNominal journal CSV with cost-centre + department dimensions.
Mid-marketMulti-dimensional CSV: department, class, location, project, custom.
Mid-marketJournal Entry CSV with subsidiary, department, class, location.

How it works
Map once per entity, per format
Under Settings → Integrations, pick a legal entity and a target system. Map the lease-accounting line types your journals use (ROU asset, lease liability, interest expense, depreciation, and so on) to your chart-of-accounts codes. A journal that uses an unmapped line type cannot be exported until it is mapped. Stored separately per (entity × format) so a group can use different codes per subsidiary.
Format-specific tax codes built in
Sage 50 emits T9 explicitly so lease journals never accidentally land on the VAT return. Xero defaults to "No Tax". The planned NetSuite format is designed around "O-GB". Each live format follows its system’s convention.
Encoding + line endings handled
Sage 50 gets Windows-1252 + CRLF (legacy ANSI consumers). Xero gets UTF-8 with no BOM. The live adapters pin these at the byte level so files import cleanly first time.
Pre-flight validation
Missing mappings, untyped journal lines, and oversized files surface as friendly errors before you download, not as cryptic "valid statement data" rejections from the target system’s import wizard hours later.
Re-export safety
Most accounting systems don’t deduplicate incoming journals. AuditLease records every export and asks for confirmation before producing a second file for the same batch + format, so you won’t silently duplicate posted entries.
Foreign-currency leases
The Xero and Sage 50 journal CSVs have no foreign-currency support, and AuditLease does not convert amounts to base currency in these files. Amounts are exported as recorded, so check the currency of each line before you import.
What you get
Compatible exports
- ✓Files in the exact shape each target system’s import wizard expects
- ✓Per-(entity × format) chart-of-accounts mapping
- ✓Format-correct dates, encoding, tax codes, tracking dimensions
- ✓Audit log of every export, with re-export confirmation
What this is NOT
Direct GL integration
- —Not real-time sync: you export when you’re ready
- —Not an OAuth API integration: no app-marketplace listing
- —Not a posted-direct-to-GL workflow: you import via your system’s wizard
- —Not a partner-certified integration: see disclaimer above
Pairs naturally with
Integration exports plug into the journal pipeline AuditLease already builds for every calculation run: same audit trail, same evidence chain, same balanced-or-fail invariant.
Journal workflow
Every export is generated from a journal batch that is finalised in the app. Approval roles control who can post, and changes are recorded in the audit trail.
Learn more →The evidence chain
Each export carries the batch reference. In AuditLease, every line of that batch names its lease and calculation run, so a figure in the GL can be traced back to its workings.
Learn more →Period-end disclosure reports
The same data that drives the exports drives the statutory disclosure notes: one source of truth across both surfaces.
