Hi, 

 

Is the supression of an audit trail only available on QuickBooks Desktop or can you also do this on QuickBooks Online? Also, am I right in thinking that if you supress the audit trail, the audit will still be available within the Audit History Report & this cannot be manipulated to remove any audit history?

Thanks for reaching out, @Q_BUser1. I'm here to share insights into how audit logs work in QuickBooks Online (QBO). 

 

The option to delete the Audit Log report isn't available in QBO. The audit trail in QuickBooks Online is designed to provide a detailed record of all transaction changes, including modifications, additions, and deletions. This audit trail plays a vital role in maintaining data integrity and tracking the history of your financial transactions.

 

To help you learn more about the audit log and the special users QuickBooks creates for specific situations on your account, I've attached an article: Use the audit log in QuickBooks Online.

 

Additionally, I've provided some articles on how to customize, memorize, print, email, and export reports in QuickBooks:

 

 

If you have any further questions about the Audit Log or any other processes within QuickBooks, feel free to ask. I'm always here to help.

Thank you, is the QuickBooks desktop offering being retired in place of QuickBooks Online please? If there is the inability to supress the audit trail on QuickBooks Online & the desktop offering will not be around for long then it would make sense for me to have the QuickBooks Cloud package, is that correct please?

Thanks for getting back to us here, Q_BUser1

 

QuickBooks Desktop was discontinued for UK users in June 2023, and we no longer sell or offer support for the product. 

 

We recommend switching to a different software, such as QuickBooks Online, to ensure you can remain compliant with HMRC-approved tax software. 

 

We've partnered with data transfer experts Movemybooks to offer a simple migration process. For further info on the process, see here. We'll be around if you need any further assistance!
