Some examples here:

Good practice for audit (and for almost any application for that
matter) is to deny users direct access to tables. Otherwise there are
always likely to be ways to subvert your audit trail.

Whenever possible please post enough code to reproduce your problem.
Including CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements usually helps.
State what version of SQL Server you are using and specify the content
of any error messages.

most any type of event (such as SQL selects, SP execution, altering objects,
etc.) you can use SQL Server Profiler:
