Can SQL Server 2012 read the SQL audit file of a higher version. We have a solution to have audit files of sql servers read (via fn_get_audit_file) in to a central database that is on SQL 2012 however, it appears that it cannot read in audit files created on higher versions of sql server e.g. 2016 - generates an error. Assuming we will need to upgrade but just wanted to confirm it. Haven't been able to find any documentation.
