How about using builtin audit software from your operating system.
Audit configuration can look scary at first, but it's mostly a one time setup per requirement.
Writing custom scripts will only make things difficult in the future.
Not to mention bypassing such scripts could be trivial, beating the audit purpose completely.
Hope that helps

timedc
TIMEDC(8) BSD System Manager's Manual TIMEDC(8)
NAME
timedc -- timed control program
SYNOPSIS
timedc [command [argument ...]]
DESCRIPTION
timedc is used to control the operation of the timed(8) program. It may be used to:
o Measure the differences between machines' clocks,
o Find the location where the master time server is running,
o Enable or disable tracing of messages received by timed(8), and
o Perform various debugging actions.
Without any arguments, timedc will prompt for commands from the standard input. If arguments are supplied, timedc interprets the first argu-
ment as a command and the remaining arguments as parameters to the command. The standard input may be redirected causing timedc to read com-
mands from a file. Commands may be abbreviated; recognized commands are:
? [command ...]
help [command ...]
Print a short description of each command specified in the argument list, or, if no arguments are given, a list of the recognized
commands.
clockdiff host ...
Compute the differences between the clock of the host machine and the clocks of the machines given as arguments.
msite [host ...]
Show the master time server for specified host(s).
trace { on | off }
Enable or disable the tracing of incoming messages to timed(8) in the file /var/log/timed.log.
election host
Asks the daemon on the target host to reset its ``election'' timers and to ensure that a time master has been elected.
quit Exit from timedc.
Other commands may be included for use in testing and debugging timed(8); the help command and the program source may be consulted for
details.
FILES
/var/log/timed.log tracing file for timed
/var/log/timed.masterlog log file for master timed
