AWS Control Tower Billing Account Onboarding

You need to follow the below sequence while onboarding Control Tower Account:

  1. Audit

  2. Log Archive

  3. Other Accounts

Why this matters: Control Tower's Audit and Log Archive accounts hold the centralized logging and compliance data other accounts depend on — onboarding them first (before the rest) avoids gaps in that dependency chain.
