Resolved by updating SSMS 2016 to v16.5.1 (Build: 13.0.16100.1)

Likely true, yes.

Pieter,

Yeah, after I saw your comment I started thinking about SSMS 2014 and any issues with viewing an older instance. Glad this post was able to help you!

Just discovered the same issue today… Could not see any Audit log from the SSMS of SQL 2012. Took me only 30 minutes to figure out what my problem was thanks to your blogpost ;)! Found also this connect that describes the issue.
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/790910/2012-sp1-ssms-cannot-view-audit-logs-for-2008-r2-instances

Looks like there are 2 extra columns in SSMS 2012 that are not returned by the fn_get_audit_file funtion
Still need to test if this is fixed in SSMS SQL 2014 and if you can read SQL 2012 audit logs with SSMS 2014

Regards
Pieter
