Implementation Guide:
Confirm that the organization has policies and procedures that are reviewed and updated regularly for changes in the business. When policies and procedures are changed, determine if management approves such changes. Select a sample of projects and determine that user reference and support manuals, systems documentation and operations documentation were prepared. Consider whether drafts of these manuals were incorporated in user acceptance testing. Determine whether any changes to proposed controls resulted in documentation updates.
