We discussed a aimilar scenario years ago, a little more specific to
datawarehouses, but similar. the question was if records are deleted from
the the core who is responsible. The general consensus was the the System
Administrator and/or the DBA was the one that would go to jail. The
reasoning was that the person that might of ordered the destruction could
not carry out the actual act. COSO and CoBiT help to proctect the systems
folks as does following standard operating procedures. The firing of the
politicians is a political decision the legal issues might be addressed by
John. The risk to us is to put solid policies and procedures in place to
help ensure the that this doesn't happen in our organizations. Even with
all that an wrong act is still a wrong act.
