Hi Paul , Syntergy do an auditing tool

http://www.syntergy.com/sharepoint/products/current/audit/index.html

you could add a Workflow add in that also supports an audit trail such as
LMR solutions

http://www.lmrsolutions.com

You can also get a certain amount of auditing by turning on your IIS logging
on you web front end servers. You can audit many functions from IIS logs
such as deletion from the logs it just takes a bit of configuring and
filtering to find the stuff. By sending your logs to SQL and using a tool
like crystal reports this could be good enough for you.

Hope this helps

Steve Smith
