Interview the application representative to verify that a documented process exists for user and system account creation, termination, and expiration.

Obtain a list of recently departed personnel and verify that their accounts were removed or deactivated on all systems in a timely manner (e.g., less than two days).

If a documented account management process does not exist or unauthorized users have active accounts, this is a finding.
