Ability to lock certain account styles instead of locking everything

It is critical that companies have the ability to lock certain account styles. Right now, you can only lock ALL account styles in your system, without being able to lock some but not others. This is crucial for auditing purposes. For example, I want to be able to lock my 2023 emissions and water data so that when I deliver the inventory numbers to my external auditor, they remain the same in the system without changing accruals etc impacting the values. Then in tandem, while those account styles are locked, my team can then continue loading 2023 waste and recycling data since all of that is not in our system yet since we prioritized completing our emissions and water inventories for our audit. Hence the dilemma, because we cannot work on adding more data to the system if it is locked, and we can only lock EVERYTHING right now, which is not helpful from a data governance stand point.
