# A model for handling audits. Expects a User model to be available.
#
# Provides the following scopes:
#
# * <tt>desc</tt> - Orders by <tt>created_at</tt> DESC and then <tt>id</tt> DESC
# * <tt>recent</tt> - Returns the last 25 audits
# * <tt>changes_on_attributes</tt> - Returns the audits with changes to the given attribute.
