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
