• Step 3: Audit Trail: The Company representative must perform a line-item reconciliation against project logs before signing the "Company Approval" block.
• Step 4: Archiving: Retain the executed timesheet as an attachment to the corresponding invoice for a minimum of [7] years (or as required by local tax law) to support potential audits or tax inquiries.
