ls -l <filename>

There is system auditing but I've never used it...don't know what's all involved. Might be a worth looking into

From a 'purist' point of view - if all you want is last modified date/time then:

Code:
ls -log filename


is more efficient (especially is filename contains any wildcards).

Be aware, on the more practical side that if the file has been modified in past 12 months you will get day and hour/min of change (i.e., no year), if it was last modified before that you will get year month and day (in the same number of fields).
