A document bundle audit report — known in Romanian/Moldovan accounting practice as a "borderou" — is a comprehensive inventory of all files in a collection: names, formats, page counts, file sizes, integrity hashes, and protection status. This type of report is used by law firms for evidence bundles, accountants for document registers, and compliance teams for archive submissions.

What a bundle report contains

DocInspector generates two types of bundle reports:

PDF Bundle Summary

A quick overview report (Excel + PDF + CSV) that includes:

  • Document title or filename
  • File format (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, etc.)
  • Page count
  • File size
  • Total pages across all documents
  • Grand total file size

Advanced Bundle Report

A detailed audit-grade report that adds:

  • Sequential document number
  • SHA-256 cryptographic hash (file integrity verification)
  • Protection status (password-protected, encrypted, signed)
  • Last modification date
  • All fields from the Summary report

The Advanced Bundle Report is the correct tool for legal evidence bundles, court submissions, compliance archives, and any context where file integrity must be verifiable.

Step-by-step: generating an audit report

  1. Prepare your files: Collect all PDF, DOCX, XLSX, CSV, or TXT files into a folder. DocInspector supports up to 100 files per batch online (unlimited on desktop).
  2. Upload: Go to DocInspector Online Tools and drag the entire folder onto the upload zone, or click the folder button to select it.
  3. Select the report type: Click either "PDF Bundle Summary" (quick report) or "Advanced Bundle Report" (full audit with SHA-256).
  4. Configure: Choose output format — Excel (.xlsx), PDF, and CSV are all generated simultaneously.
  5. Run: Click the Run button. Processing time depends on file count and sizes — typically under 30 seconds for 100 files.
  6. Download: Your report files are packaged in a ZIP archive for download.

Understanding SHA-256 hashes in the report

Each file in the Advanced Bundle Report gets a SHA-256 hash — a 64-character string that is a unique fingerprint of that file's exact content. If even one byte of the file is modified after the report is generated, its SHA-256 hash will change completely.

This makes the report legally significant: it proves that the files submitted match the files listed in the report at the time of submission. Courts, auditors, and compliance officers recognize SHA-256 as a standard integrity verification method.

Use cases

  • Law firms: Create evidence bundles for court submissions — every exhibit gets a sequential number, file size, and SHA-256 hash that can be independently verified
  • Accountants and auditors: Generate a "borderou" (document registry) for accounting submissions — required in Romanian and Moldovan accounting practice for multi-document packages
  • Compliance teams: Archive submissions to regulatory bodies — prove at any future date that the archived files have not been modified
  • HR departments: Employee file inventories for audits — log all HR documents with their integrity hashes for future reference
  • IT teams: Document migration verification — confirm that all files survived a storage migration unchanged by comparing pre- and post-migration SHA-256 hashes

Desktop vs online for large bundles

The online version supports up to 100 files per batch. For larger document collections (500+ files), the DocInspector desktop app has no file count limit — upload an entire folder of thousands of files and generate the full report locally, with no internet connection required.

Frequently asked questions

Can the bundle report be used as a legal document?

The report itself is an inventory document. Its SHA-256 hashes provide cryptographic proof of file integrity at the time of generation. Whether the report has legal standing depends on jurisdiction and use context — consult with legal counsel for court submissions.

Does generating a bundle report modify the original files?

No. The bundle report is read-only — it analyzes and inventories your files without modifying them. The original files are untouched.

What happens if a file in the bundle is password-protected?

DocInspector reports its protection status in the Protection Status column. The file is still inventoried (filename, size, SHA-256 of the encrypted file) even if its contents cannot be read.

What formats does the bundle report support?

PDF, DOCX, XLSX, CSV, and TXT files are all supported as inputs. The generated report is available in Excel (.xlsx), PDF, and CSV formats simultaneously.

Conclusion

A document bundle audit report with SHA-256 hashes is the professional standard for any multi-document submission, archive, or evidence package. DocInspector generates this report in under a minute for up to 100 files, outputting simultaneously as Excel, PDF, and CSV — ready for immediate use in legal, accounting, or compliance contexts.
