bool organizationAuditingFlag = org.IsAuditEnabled.Value;
org.IsAuditEnabled = true;
_service.Update(org);

Console.WriteLine("Enabling auditing on the organization and account entities.")

' Enable auditing on the organization.
' First, get the organization's ID from the system user record.
Dim orgId As Guid = (CType(_service.Execute(New WhoAmIRequest()), WhoAmIResponse)).OrganizationId

' Next, retrieve the organization's record.
Dim org As Organization = TryCast(_service.Retrieve(Organization.EntityLogicalName, orgId, New ColumnSet(New String() {"organizationid", "isauditenabled"})), Organization)
