Abstract
A method and system for implementing an extensible audit trail for electronic and computerized systems is disclosed. A defined audit ID is assigned to a given activity, and that audit ID is distributed along with each jump between systems when performing the activity. In addition, a set of mandatory attribute information is recorded at each system involved in the activity. Each system may also record a set of system specific attribute information. During the audit process, records are searched and collected for the appropriate audit ID value.
