The audit log records all the key financial transactions on your account, including:
- the creation of invoices and receipts
- the processing, modification, or deletion of payments, and
- the issuing of refunds.
The primary purpose of the audit log is for troubleshooting – to help you figure out why a particular transaction took place.
You cannot delete entries from the audit log.
