Quickbooks Audit Trail Removal Service is a service to remove the audit trail from a Quickbooks data file. This will reduce the files size of the data file by as much as 30-50% and considerably speed up the data file. This service will also delete entries in the Voiced/Deleted Transactions Summary and Detail reports.

What is the Quickbooks Audit Trail?

Quickbooks maintains an internal Audit Trail to record all changes made to every transaction in the data file. This is a very helpful tool for Accountants/Bookkeepers to track users who made changes to transactions and other details such as amounts, etc. However, as the number of transactions increase in a data file, the audit trail grows by a factor of 2, thereby increasing the size of a Quickbooks data file, and slowing Quickbooks down considerably. Removing the audit trail brings down the file size of a data file and speeds up Quickbooks. It is also often required to remove the audit trail when handing over data files to government or other agencies such as the CRA and IRS in cases of data audits.

Does Removing the Audit Trail impact Quickbooks?

Removing the audit trail data does not impact Quickbooks in any way but rather helps in maintaining a low file size and improved performance in Quickbooks.

How does the service work?

The actual process is easy. You upload a backup of your QuickBooks file, we will remove the audit trail and reduce the size of the data file. We then send you a secure download link to download a backup of the smaller file without the audit trail. Weekend service is available.
