To access the auditing system:

  1. Go to audit.ChurchofJesusChrist.org.

Church Positions and Access Rights

Your Church position determines what you can see and do in the auditing system. The name of your Church position appears below your username and the Sign Out link in the top right corner of the window.

Note: In rare cases, a user may have multiple Church positions that have access to the auditing system. When such a user signs in, the system selects one of his positions and grants that position’s access rights. To change to a different position, the user must click the Church position field and select the desired position.
