# Audit reports **(FREE)**

GitLab can help owners and administrators respond to auditors by generating
comprehensive reports. These audit reports vary in scope, depending on the
needs.

## 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.
