Title: Develop audit and accountability policies and procedures
Ownership: Customer
Description: Microsoft recommends that your organization develop, document, maintain, and distribute Audit and Accountability policies that addresses the purpose, scope, roles, responsibilities, management commitment, coordination among organizational entities, and compliance. We recommend that your organization establish a dedicated internal technology audit function with specialized and relevant technology audit competencies. The internal audit functions may be enlisted to provide advice on compliance with and adequacy of control processes during the planning and development phases of new major products, systems or technology operations. It is recommended that your organization designate a board audit committee responsible for ensuring the effectiveness of the internal technology audit function. It is recommended that your organization document evaluation procedures/guidelines to enable the internal audit team to evaluate the adequacy and efficiency of the controls implemented. Such procedures may include control deficiency, scoring methodology, quantification approach of impact, etc. It is recommended that your organization's internal audit procedure be established, implemented and maintained to ensure: - Compliance with various standard's requirements and any legal, regulatory or contractual obligations - Internal audits are scheduled and performed at least once per year, no later than six months following the external audit - Where practicable, persons carrying out the audit are independent of those responsible for the activity - Results of the audits are recorded, published, and reported to relevant stakeholders to allow those responsible to make corrective or preventive actions - Coordination with the respective teams for relevant actions to close non-compliance and irregularities in controls. Microsoft recommends that your organization review and update the current audit and accountability policies and procedures as per the organization defined frequency. Taiwan- Implementation Rules of Internal Audit and Internal Control System of Financial Holding Companies and Banking Industries requires your organization to allow a chief auditor to designate internal auditors of a subsidiary company to conduct the internal audit task and to safeguard the appropriateness and effectiveness of the internal audit system in the organization or its subsidiary. Taiwan - Implementation Rules for the Internal Audit and Internal Control System of Electronic Payment Institutions requires your organization to get approval from the chief auditor prior to conducting actions such as employing, dismissing, promoting or reviewing, among other actions, any personnel in the internal audit unit. ARMA International TR 30-2017 requires organizations to perform audits to prove the information governance program is accomplishing its goals and identify areas for improvement to further protect the information assets. The auditing shall determine whether employees can demonstrate program awareness, retention period of the information is adhered to and policies are up to date.
Requirements: The customer is responsible for implementing this recommendation.

FedRAMP_High_R4 AU-1 FedRAMP_High_R4_AU-1 FedRAMP High AU-1 Audit And Accountability Audit And Accountability Policy And Procedures Shared n/a The organization: a. Develops, documents, and disseminates to [Assignment: organization-defined personnel or roles]: 1. An audit and accountability policy that addresses purpose, scope, roles, responsibilities, management commitment, coordination among organizational entities, and compliance; and 2. Procedures to facilitate the implementation of the audit and accountability policy and associated audit and accountability controls; and b. Reviews and updates the current: 1. Audit and accountability policy [Assignment: organization-defined frequency]; and 2. Audit and accountability procedures [Assignment: organization-defined frequency]. Supplemental Guidance: This control addresses the establishment of policy and procedures for the effective implementation of selected security controls and control enhancements in the AU family. Policy and procedures reflect applicable federal laws, Executive Orders, directives, regulations, policies, standards, and guidance. Security program policies and procedures at the organization level may make the need for system-specific policies and procedures unnecessary. The policy can be included as part of the general information security policy for organizations or conversely, can be represented by multiple policies reflecting the complex nature of certain organizations. The procedures can be established for the security program in general and for particular information systems, if needed. The organizational risk management strategy is a key factor in establishing policy and procedures. Related control: PM-9. Control Enhancements: None.
