If you are an end user

If you are an end-user working with auditing, you manage policies to meet your auditing needs and record what happened and where. You also decide:

Which database table and field (records) to audit, provided you know the application database schema well enough.
The amount of audit information to record to satisfy auditor requirements.
The methods you want to use to manage the audit data’s life cycle (onsite and offsite, online and offline).
