Governance

Dough handles governance so finance can focus on building.

SOX compliance, data-access management, agent sharing and auditability — out of the box. The same agents, with and without a governed layer between the terminal and the close.

The difference

Dough takes a different approach to agents.

You maintain full control and ownership — and your agents go past reporting the numbers.

What each layer delivers
Auditability Layer

Every step is on the record.

+

Each PO the agent reviews lands in a full session log, and runs can be used for evals automatically. The back and forth between your team and the agent is logged. The approvals are logged. Your audit trail writes itself.

→ AUDIT-READY BY DEFAULT
Compliance Layer

Access and credentials stay inside the lines.

+

RBAC scopes agents to operate on-behalf-of users in platforms like Slack and only disclose data that users are allowed to access. API keys are stored in encrypted vaults not users' laptops. Controls are enforced by the platform, not left to the agent.

→ SOX SCOPES ENFORCED
Agent Layer

Always the latest, reviewed agent.

+

The run pulls the current Procurement Agent from the shared repo, not a stale copy on someone's laptop. Agents have skill versions pinned to them and they are only updated when the team approves.

→ ZERO VERSION DRIFT
Context Layer

Agents retrieve data for optimal performance.

+

Agents are given the best path to access the data they need. In this case, the agent uses API keys to query outstanding POs (Coupa), data lake snapshot tables to query the latest budget (Anaplan) and a file system to access any ad-hoc changes. No inefficient MCPs exploding the context window.

→ AGENTS GET THE GOLDEN PATH FOR DATA
