How safe is GnuCash?

[DaveC49]

The only real check that no-one is manipulating the books in any situation is
the agreement between the particular set of records (gnucash file) and other
externally maintained and available records (bank statements, receipts ,
invoices, etc) held by both the entity whose books are being audited and any
other entity they have dealt with.  The internal consistency of the
particular set of records being checked is only one factor in an audit. 

An auditor would not and should not rely on any inbuilt software system to
guarantee the authenticity and reliability of any set of records. It may
make some aspects of his or her job a little easier, but it won't negate the
need to verify the records against externallly maintained sources.
