A method and apparatus for managing a history of operations performed in an image forming apparatus that is controlled by an external connection are provided. The apparatus includes an interface unit via which an external device is connected to the image forming apparatus to control the image forming apparatus, a storage unit that stores a history obtained by controlling the image forming apparatus by the external device, and a controller that controls the history in the storage unit. Accordingly, it is possible to allow the external device to be connected to the image forming apparatus to control the image forming apparatus, and store the history of the control in the storage unit. Accordingly, a user can review operations that were performed by the image forming apparatus under the control of the external device, and determine whether important information was disclosed or whether unnecessary operations had been performed, thereby managing the image forming apparatus.
