Fix Recommendation

Configure the DBMS's settings to allow designated personnel to select which auditable events are audited.

Note the following:
In Oracle, any user can configure auditing for the objects in his or her own schema by using the AUDIT statement. To undo the audit configuration for an object, the user can use the NOAUDIT statement. No additional privileges are needed to perform this task.

To audit objects in another schema, the user must have the AUDIT ANY system privilege.
To audit system privileges, the user must have the AUDIT SYSTEM privilege.

For more information on the configuration of auditing, refer to the following documents:
"Auditing Database Activity" in the Oracle Database 2 Day + Security Guide:
http://docs.oracle.com/database/121/TDPSG/tdpsg_auditing.htm#TDPSG50000
"Monitoring Database Activity with Auditing" in the Oracle Database Security Guide:
