# Audit Reports

GitLab can help owners and administrators respond to auditors by generating
comprehensive reports. These **Audit Reports** vary in scope, depending on the
need:

## Use cases

- Generate a report of audit events to provide to an external auditor requesting proof of certain logging capabilities.
- Provide a report of all users showing their group and project memberships for a quarterly access review so the auditor can verify compliance with an organization's access management policy.

## APIs

- `https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/audit_events.html`

- `https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/graphql/reference/#groupmember`

## Features

We plan on making Audit Events [downloadable as a CSV](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/1449)
in the near future.
