ACL change report

Question

Hi Everyone,
 I'm trying to create powershell script which would alert when ACL changes are made to shares, folders and subfolders running on multiple servers   
What I have so far kind of works, I'm getting ACL report fine but how would I correctly diff ACL report from previous day withe current ACL report? When I do compare-object I'm getting permissions changed listed value without path.  Here is what I have:
$shares = "C:\scripts\dirs.txt"
$ref = "C:\scripts\ref.csv"
$refchanged = "C:\scripts\ref.txt_$date"
$curracl = "C:\scripts\curracl.csv"
$date = get-date -uformat "%y%m%d.%H%M%S"
$output = "C:\scripts\result.txt"
gc $shares | % {
        $folder = $_
        $folders = Get-ChildItem -path $folder -force -recurse | Where {$_.PSIsContainer}
   $dirs = $folders
            ForEach ($d in $dirs)
get-acl -path $d.FullName | format-list -Property  path, accesstostring |  | Out-file -Append $curracl
$diff = compare-object -referenceobject $(get-content $ref) -differenceobject $(get-content $curracl) | fl | Out-file "C:\scripts\diff.txt"
$result = (gc C:\scripts\diff.txt)
Also, when I export to csv I'm getting permissions listed only for one user, the user listed first in directory ACL.  
What am I missing here?

Hi,
When open the CSV, what it looks like? There should be two colum, one is path, another is accesstostring.
I run below command, got two colums:
get-acl e:\test | select path, accesstostring | export-csv e:\result.csv
Please also go through the below article to audit permissions using powershell:
