Audit Considerations

It is important to keep audited information manageable.

Although auditing is relatively inexpensive, limit the number of audited events as much as possible. Doing so minimizes the performance impact on the execution of audited statements and the size of the audit trail, making it easier to analyze, understand, and manage.

Use the following general guidelines when devising an auditing strategy:
  • Evaluate the purpose for auditing:

    After you have a clear understanding of the reasons for auditing, you can devise an appropriate auditing strategy and avoid unnecessary auditing.

  • Audit knowledgeably:

    Audit the minimum number of statements, users, or objects required to get the targeted information.
