What is the function of the Audit Log in QuickBooks Online?

• A. It tracks inventory changes.
• B. It records user actions and changes to transactions for auditing and security.
• C. It is used to generate invoices.
• D. It merges duplicate customers.

Answer: (B)

The Audit Log is about tracking who did what and when, plus exactly what changed, to support auditing and security. In QuickBooks Online it records user actions and edits across transactions and lists, so admins can review activity, verify data integrity, and investigate issues. You can see who created, edited, or deleted items like invoices, customers, and other data, along with the specific changes made. This gives accountability and helps spot unauthorized access or mistakes, making it easier to trace problems back to their source. Access is usually through the gear icon by selecting Audit Log, where you can filter by date, user, and type of action to focus on relevant events. It’s not about generating invoices or merging duplicates; those tasks live in their normal workflows.
