Business rules guide the operation of an organization, thus its documentation provides an important source of information both for developing technological solutions (information systems, databases)and for evaluating information systems implementations.

This paper describes a method for discovering business rules from the information systems event logs, through the use of process mining and data mining techniques. We exemplify the method execution to discover two selected sub-types of business rules, namely condition action assertions and authorization action assertions.
