OP doesn't give any useful context, but I imagine someone on the security desk at the entrance to an office, where you're effectively being asked to "sign out" when you leave. In which case leaving [this building] is the specific matter of interest, not the more general-purpose going [somewhere else]. | |

But going can be to do with the with just about everything else - including the journey, the destination, or even just the fact that after you go, the current location might be empty. | |
