Unexpected Error when trying to view Audit Log Reports

Guys-from last few months I am trying my best to dig in SharePoint auditing and trying to explore so many things. While exploring, I am trying to create the error message so that it will be easy for me to know the root cause and resolution too. I would like to share my research and thorough findings so that it will be helpful for everybody to minimize the headache that we experienced while troubleshooting the issue.
If you receive an Unexpected Error trying to view the Audit Log Reports on their Site Collection:
·         Access the Site Collection. 
·         Go to Site Actions >Site Settings. 
·         Select Audit Log Reports. 

Error message:
Unexpected Error returned.
Resolution:
Please use the following steps to resolve this issue:
1.   Visit <SiteURL> /_layouts/ManageFeatures.aspx?Scope=Site

Example: https:// spsites.sharepoint.com/sites/amolsp2010 /_layouts/ManageFeatures.aspx?Scope=Site

2.   Deactivate the feature: Reporting. 
3.   Activate the feature Reporting. 
4.   Visit /_layouts/AuditSettings.aspx page and verify the Audit settings.
