Which path is correct to access the Audit Log settings?

• A. Reports - Audit Log
• B. Settings - Audit Log
• C. Company - Audit
• D. Tools - Audit Log

Answer: (B)

Accessing the Audit Log is done through Settings (the gear icon) and then selecting Audit Log. This location is used because the Audit Log is a system-wide administrative tool that records all changes to your QuickBooks file, not a standard financial report. It’s placed under Settings so you can manage and review activity from a centralized admin area. The other paths lead to different parts of QuickBooks (reports, company settings, or tools) and don’t pull up the log’s settings. The Audit Log helps you see who made changes, what they changed, and when, which is essential for accountability and troubleshooting.
