We are developing a small database application that will be used by approx. 20 users. It will contain some sensitive client information but no financial/accounting data. What are minimum audit requirements? Have considered created by/user and updated by/user on each record, and a log table but developer says this is over the top.

"Minimum audit requirements" is usually a management or government policy and it's impossible for us to say anything about what your policy should be. If however, you decide to go with the audit table and created/updated by on each record I've created a script that does all this for you (there are some prerequisites but hopefully it's understandable):
