The gone employees I have handled. The accounts in question are like Websense, 
myonelogin and other application-like accounts.

Subject: Re: Domain Admin accounts

In a SOX audit I would require verification from HR that every member of Domain 
Admins, Enterprise Admins and Schema Admins is a valid employee.
You would probably not be surprised how many are not employed and have been 
gone for quite some time.  Same process for off-site backup access (Iron 
Mountain, etc).

Service accounts that are members of one or more of those groups have to have 
CIO (or equivalent level) sign-off.

Thanks
