How to Review Access to Business Systems Used by External Auditors

11/10/2026

Audit work may require temporary access to sensitive systems that should not remain active after fieldwork.

Checks to make

Define scope, named accounts, least-privilege roles, MFA, approved data access, and a specific end date. Monitor activity, collect evidence through approved channels, and revoke accounts and sessions after the engagement.
