DBA_AUDIT_EXISTS

DBA_AUDIT_EXISTS displays audit trail entries produced by AUDIT EXISTS and AUDIT NOT EXISTS.

Note: This view is deprecated and applies only to traditional auditing. Traditional auditing is desupported starting in Oracle AI Database 26ai. Though traditional auditing is desupported, any current traditional audit settings that you have will still be honored and are viewable with this view. See Oracle AI Database Security Guide for more information about how this desupport works.
