Abstract
A computer-implemented system and method for establishing an audit trail for a communication record in a contact center is provided. The central server maintains a log file associated with a communication record which contains a message digest, pertinent information, as well as a listing of all of the instances in which the record was accessed or changed. Additionally, the system and method implements recording access control and permissions to further ensure recording validity. When a user accesses a recording the system is automatically able to confirm the contents of the recording as original using the message digest and display each action that has been taken upon the current recording, including compression, modification, and any other associated information.
