public interface IAuditable
{
    DateTime UpdatedOn { get; set; }
    string UpdatedBy { get; set; }
    DateTime CreatedOn { get; set; }
    string CreatedBy { get; set; }
}


public static class IAuditableExtension
{
    public static void Audit(this IAuditable e, bool createNew, string byUser)
    {
        if (e == null)
            return;

        var dtNow = DateTime.UtcNow;

        if (createNew)
        {
            e.CreatedOn = dtNow;
            e.CreatedBy = byUser;
        }

        e.UpdatedOn = DateTime.UtcNow;
        e.UpdatedBy = byUser;
    }
