The Audit Log will report all activity with a timestamp on the user who performed the transaction. An audit log report could show you when and who voided or deleted a transaction from the register. It also could let you see if a transaction changed from a reconciled status to un-reconciled status. Access the Audit Log by clicking on the gear icon which is located in the upper right corner then click Audit Log from the tools menu.
