Is there a place I can go to find out the date the books were closed for a specific month?

Hi there, @devonne-kahunain.

Yes, there is! I can share details about finding the date your books were closed in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

You can use the Audit Log and filter the date to the specific month you prefer. This is where all your activities in QBO is recorded, including the following:

• The date of any change to your books
• The name of the user who made the change
• The type of change or event
• The name of any customer or vendor related to the change
• Any original transaction date and amount

Here's how to use the Audit Log:

1. In QBO, go to the Gear (Settings) icon at the top right.
2. Select Audit Log.
3. Use the fields on the Filter panel to choose the appropriate User, Date, or Events filter to narrow the results.
4. Hit Apply.

To learn more about managing and closing your books in QBO, consider checking out these articles:

• Close your books in QuickBooks Online.
• Edit your closed books.

Leave a comment below if you have additional questions about closing books or anything else QuickBooks. I'll be more than happy to answer them. Take care always.

Thanks for your response but I already checked there. I cannot find a filter that will provide that specific detail. I even selected the Event "Settings" but it just shows that there was a change made but it doesn't show what change was specifically made. See the image that I included in my original post. 

Thanks for trying the steps shared by my peer, @devonne-kahunain. I couldn't find your attachment from your first post. I'd appreciate if you re-attach it. 

As additional insights, you can also see the closing date of your books on the Accounts and Settings page. Please ensure to log in as a primary admin or company admin to view more details or make any changes. I'll show you how:

1. Click the Settings menu, then select Accounts and Settings.
2. Go to the Advanced tab.
3. See the details in the Accounting section.

To learn more about your closed books, run the Exceptions to Closing Date report to see if there are any changes made after you closed them.

Keep in touch if you have additional concerns about your closed books. We're always here to guide you again. 

Katherine, I thank you for jumping in to assist here. Please see attached. (I think I added my attachment when I sent it to QB Feedback and not when I posted to the community - sorry about that). 

Additionally, @katherinejoyceO, the steps you listed can tell you WHICH period is closed but it doesn't show WHEN it was closed. 

Thanks for actively responding with screenshot of your audit log report, @devonne-kahunain. It looks like there are no changes made to transactions before the Closing Date. Hence, the audit log don't show any details. 

Please know that any changes made to the transactions after you close your books can be tracked in the Exceptions to Closing Date report. Here's how to generate it: 

1. Go to the Reports menu.
2. Find the report by name by entering Exceptions to Closing Date on the Search field.
3. Select to open the Report. 

You're right, the steps I've shared in my first response will show you which period is closed (first month of fiscal year, first month of income tax year, and the accounting method). Whereas the date shown under the Close the books section is the actual date your book was closed.

You can check out this article in case you'll need guidance to edit your closed books.
