As an internal auditor how can I use dynamics GP 2013. There is no audit trail in GP 2013, so what should I do. Is there any other way to trace transactions or generate reports that are required for internal audit purposes

I have the same question (0)All GP transactions have an audit trail. This allows you to trace the transaction from the sub ledger to the general ledger. For more info, click here: www.erpsoftwareblog.com/.../source-document-and-audit-trail-code-features-in-microsoft-dynamics-gp
From an internal controls perspective, there are a number of user access reports that will show you which users have access to which screens and who can do what. You can use the out of the box security roles that come with GP to administer internal controls, or you can create your own roles. It's very granular. For more info, check out the system setup guide for GP, specifically the section on setting up security roles and security tasks.
You also have the ability to lock down certain buttons/fields on various windows using field level security. Here's some more info: community.dynamics.com/.../dynamics-gp-2013-faq-how-to-add-field-level-security
There's also a feature called "Activity Tracking" that you can turn on that helps you see when users logged in, which reports users ran, whether or not a user made any additions, deletions or modifications to transaction files, setup files and master files. This feature also allows you to track posting of various transactions within the system.

If you are looking for a more robust solution, you might take a look at Rockton Auditor or Merit Solutions' Risk Management Suite.
