Error Is it possible to find out how/when/who deleted particular dierectory on UNIX Aix3

Hi..
I am new to unix. And I am trying to learn more about admin part of it. We have come across a situation where one of the directory gets deleted everyday at 4:00 pm by some process. We are unable to find out what deletes that directory, seems like a automated job.. but there is nothing scheduled in crontab..
IS there any administrative command to find out the details.

Thanks
DM
