Detecting gaps in the audit record

I notice that in normal operation audit event IDs are sequential. Is it
sufficient to look for non-sequential audit events to detects gaps in
the record? Are there any circumstances, including deliberate tampering,
where this might not be sufficient?

Thanks,

Matt
