Verifiable attendance documentation for courts and supervising agencies
Auditend helps participants create tamper-evident meeting attendance records they can share with courts, probation officers, and other supervising agencies. Each record combines a timestamp, an approximate-area observation, and selfie evidence. Auditend documents what was recorded; the supervising authority decides whether it satisfies a requirement.

How participant attendance documentation works
- 1
The participant records arrival
At check-in, Auditend records the time, an approximate area, and selfie evidence. It does not continuously track the participant.
- 2
Auditend protects record integrity
The attendance evidence becomes part of a tamper-evident record designed to reveal later alteration.
- 3
The participant creates a report
The participant chooses the records and recipient, then generates a report with a unique verification code.
- 4
The reviewer verifies authenticity
An identified reviewer can use the verification code to confirm that Auditend generated the report and that its issued contents have not been altered.
Paper sign-in sheets vs. verified digital records
Paper sign-in sheets
- Easily forged or fabricated
- No way to verify authenticity
- Requires meeting involvement
- Easy to lose
- Easy to forget
Auditend verified reports
- GPS + photo verification
- Independently verifiable online
- No meeting involvement needed
- Always on your phone
- Reminds you to check in
What attendance reports contain
Each Auditend attendance report includes:
Participant identification
Name as registered in the system
Timestamped check-in records
Date, time, and meeting name for each attendance
Approximate area
A coarse area (about a city block) recorded at each check-in — no exact coordinates
Verification photos
Timestamped selfie confirming identity at each check-in
Unique verification code
Code for independent verification of report authenticity
What each check-in records
Each check-in binds together three pieces of tamper-evident evidence. Auditend records this evidence — it does not decide whether a participant “attended”; the reviewer evaluates the record.
Approximate area
A coarse location (about a city block) — no exact coordinates, no distance to the venue, no geofence
Timing
1 hour before to 1 hour after start
Photo
Timestamped selfie for identity verification
“Still Here” mid-meeting confirmation
Approximately 45 minutes after check-in, participants receive a notification for an optional second observation. It simply records whether they are still in the same general area as their own earlier check-in — it is never compared to the venue, and no distance is computed. This is optional — if the participant does not respond, the original check-in still counts. Reports indicate which check-ins include this additional confirmation.
How to verify a report
- 1
Locate the verification code
Found in the header or footer of the attendance report (format: VER-YYYY-XXXXXX)
- 2
Visit the verification page
Go to auditend.com/verify
- 3
Enter the code
The system will confirm whether the report is authentic and display the original data
What “tamper-evident” means
Each check-in record and attendance report includes a cryptographic signature. If any part of the record were modified after creation—the timestamp, approximate area, or photo—the verification would fail.
When you verify a report using the verification code, the system compares the report data against our stored records. A successful verification confirms the report has not been altered since generation.
What Auditend does not do
Does not monitor meetings
We have no presence at meetings and no knowledge of what happens there.
Does not track location continuously
GPS is checked once at check-in, then discarded. There is no background tracking.
Does not verify meeting duration
Reports confirm presence at check-in time but not how long the participant stayed.
Not affiliated with any fellowship
Auditend is an independent technology company. We have no affiliation with AA, NA, CA, or any recovery organization.
Questions about Auditend records
Does Auditend continuously track participants?
No. Auditend records an approximate-area observation during check-in and, when completed, an optional follow-up observation. It does not continuously monitor location or use background location tracking.
What does report verification confirm?
Verification confirms that Auditend generated the issued report and that its contents have not been altered. It does not independently determine attendance, legal compliance, or program completion.
Do courts automatically accept Auditend reports?
No. Each court, probation officer, or supervising organization decides what documentation it will accept. Participants should confirm requirements with their supervising authority.
