Finding "Missing" Money
Clients often panic when a transaction "vanishes." The Audit Log is your black box recorder.
Why It Matters
When balances don't match, or someone says "I swear I entered that invoice," panic sets in. The Audit Log removes the mystery.
Every single click, edit, and deletion in QuickBooks is recorded permanently.
The Tool: Audit Log
Go to Settings > Audit Log.
You can filter by user or date to see exactly who changed what and when.
The Strategy
Peace of Mind
Use the Audit Log not just for "blame," but for recovery. If an intern deleted a payment by accident, you can find the exact details to re-enter it.
- Track Changes: See the "before" and "after" value of an edited transaction.
- Verify Users: Confirm which user account made the change.
- Undo Mistakes: Use the logged data to restore deleted items manually.
