Risk Assessment
Principle 8 - Assess Fraud, Improper Payment, and Information Security Risk
Attribute 8.16 - External risks may come from external parties that connect with or operate the entity's information technology or from unrelated attackers. External parties that connect with the entity's operating systems and databases in the normal course of operations may include end users, such as program beneficiaries; federal, state, and local government entities; and service organizations. External parties that operate the entity's information technology may include developers to which the entity outsources the design of information technology or service organizations or location-independent technology services that operate the systems on behalf of the entity. External information security risks may arise when an entity relies on these external parties' internal control systems as they perform business processes for the entity.

Election Anomalies
The Green Book's Principle 8 addresses Assess Fraud, Improper Payment, and Information Security Risk. Obviously, improper payments is not a concern during the Assessment of Election Anomalies. However, improper payments by MC county may exist, but would require a separate assessment.
The Green Book's emphasis on fraud and information security as separate risk assessment activity is intentional. MC may be able to defer to the Arizona Secretary of State's Election Procedure Manual as general steps taken to ensure the integrity of election results. Fraud occurs when loopholes are identified and exploited by the fraudsters. The implementers of election services (i.e., Arizona Counties) are better positioned to detect fraud and assess the risk of fraud because they are handling the data, not the state. Hence, governance gaps may be identified from patterns of poor assessment and response to risk with respect to election fraud and information security.
