+### Audit SQL
+
+To fetch the SQL used to create the audit, you can use the `audit_sql` method. Can be useful for batched operations or for debugging.
+
+```ruby
+class User < ActiveRecord::Base
+  audited
+end
+
+user = User.new(name: "Brandon")
+user.disable_auditing
+user.audit_sql
+```
+
+NOTE: This method will return non-nil value only if the record is dirty (is new or has changes).
