auditable
Open to review
Auditable means capable of being audited—examined or verified through formal review.
Financial records are auditable when they're complete and organized enough for inspection: Make sure all expenses are auditable.
Systems and processes can be auditable too: The software maintains an auditable trail of all user actions.
The word implies transparency and accountability.
