It's not that we don't want to answer, but this could be a book's worth of writing. We're asking what the goals of the audit are?Most auditing is to determine what has happened or what things are changing. You've mentioned a few things that aren't in that area, but are more of a reivew.
What's the purpose of your audit?
I asked this question to learn more from my peers. I want to learn how every industry does their audit on their sql server. I saw some good response on concerns and issues raised in sarbanes oxley standard. Similarly, I would like to learn about other industry regulation such as HIPAA and others. I hope this kind of open ended question is OK to ask in this SSC forum.
Thanks
