Access & Governance

Research on bank-access inventories, signatory reviews, evidence retention, and escalation boundaries.
Published · 10 listed sources
Key takeaways
- Review access by user, role, account, authority, and business need.
- Remove or change access through an approved owner-controlled process.
- Retain evidence of review, changes, and unresolved exceptions.
Key statistic
Methodology
Inventory account, user, role, signatory power, MFA status, last review, owner, and action. Compare access to current responsibilities and approvals.
Escalation
Bookkeeping support can prepare the inventory and flag mismatches. Bank owners and administrators approve and execute changes; support never changes signatory authority independently.
Limitations
Bank controls and contractual rules vary. Coordinate changes through the institution’s approved process.
Evidence map

- The source list includes NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 as public guidance relevant to access controls.
- CISA, MFA is listed to frame review questions about bookkeeping bank-signatory review research.
- FFIEC Authentication Guidance provides context; this report does not treat that source as proof that a staffing model causes an outcome.
