Glad to have pointed you in the right direction.

And in that case of 'breadcrumbs' the entirety of GnuCash is an audit trail, as that is how double-entry accounting works.

If you are looking for some record of exactly who entered which transactions and the date/time stamps, no, that is not available. Technically I think the posting date/time does get recorded, but it is not readily available to users. If you really need it, perhaps start a thread just on that question.

Certainly the 'who' will be impossible, because GnuCash is not a multi-user application. Whomever has access to run the app, and access to the file, can post or edit transactions.

*note, on the point of timestamps, I don't think *edits* get a stamp, so only the original entry is dated, which is likely of little 'audit' utility. Perhaps, if you save all log files, you might be able to reconstruct timings of when edits were made, but of course, those logs themselves are editable, so certainly not useful in a real audit.

Regards,
Adrien
