Why is My Audit Log Not Showing in Intuit QB?

With Audit Log, you can keep a track of all that is going on in your QuickBooks Company. It keeps a record of everything, from user login to user logout and the user activity in between.

This error occurs mostly because the method of signing out was not followed properly by the user. This causes great discrepancies between the Audit Log and its access. The users do not appear in the list.

Resolve The Issue of Audit Log Intuit QB Payroll

Troubleshooting the error becomes a lot easier when one is sure that he followed all the procedures in the given manner. That is why we are going to show you how to record the Audit Log so that you can figure out where the mistake came in.

1. Method One: Using The Audit Log

• Open your QuickBooks Company and go to the Gear icon given at the top of the screen.
• Go to Tools, click it and select Audit Log.
• Now, go to the Filter drop-down and select the desired Dates, User, and Events Filter. 
• Click Apply when you are done.

If you followed the procedure provided above, then your Audit Log is working fine. Your Audit Log displays somewhere around 150 entries at a time.

2. Method Two: User Login And Logout Activity

The user Login and Logout activities are one of the most checked logout activities on QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop. However, if you are willing to access the login/logout list, please bear in your mind that the system records the logout if the user had selected Sign Out while exiting the Audit Log.

If the user in question had closed the browser without signing out, or if he had wandered off to another URL without signing out, then the Audit Log will not record the Signing Out Activity. However, the system itself signs out the user after a short period of inactivity, so there is nothing to worry about.
