Could it be the Active Directory audit policy needs to be set to log these events?

LDAP search can tell you who is in AD and in which groups, but does not tell you when users are added or removed. For that, you need Windows event logs. Install the Splunk Universal Forwarder on your domain controller and enable the WinEventLog:Security input. This will send events to Splunk each time a user is added or deleted (among many other events). You can then create searches to find and display created and deleted users.

@khanlarloo, did you enable WinEventLog:Security input on your DC as suggested by richgalloway? I also have the Splunk App for Windows Infrastructure installed and I am getting those reports. From Active Directory drop-down, go to Users>>User Reports>>Domain Accounts: New, or Domain Accounts: Deleted. Works!
