Explanation
### Why this is right
- **Purpose and objectives** explain why the standard exists and what outcomes it seeks.
- **Scope** identifies what is covered and what is outside the standard.
- **Roles and responsibilities** identify who implements and oversees the requirements.
- **Requirements** form the core description of what must be achieved.
- **Compliance and audit approach** explains how adherence will be monitored and enforced.
- **Exception management** explains how departures from the standard are approved.
### The concept
The source also lists references, effective date, approving authority, dependencies, related external controls, and maintenance information. A testing and audit method is optional but recommended for clear assurance.

### Terms
- **Residual risk**: risk that remains after controls are applied.
- **Exception management**: the process for reviewing and approving departures from a standard.
- **RACI**: Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed, a way to clarify roles.
### Remember
A usable standard explains its purpose, boundaries, owners, requirements, assurance, exceptions, and upkeep.
