Investigating payroll changes

I'm about to send payroll data in QuickBooks Enterprise 2021. I clicked the view button to see what information I was going to send. At the bottom, it said that we had deleted two employees, deleted six payroll items, and modified 55 paychecks. I didn't personally do these things, so I'm going to ask the other accountants if they made those changes.

But is there a way in QuickBooks that I can figure out which employees and payroll items were deleted and which paychecks were modified? I'm not aware of any, but it would be very useful to be able to identify the changes that were being submitted. Otherwise we have to rely on our memories and hope we don't make any mistakes.

For the paychecks, you can use the Audit Trail report to see who changed them.

For employees and payroll items, there's no audit trail though only unused records on these lists can be deleted, so whatever it was that was deleted won't impact your history or payroll reporting.
