Service Account Pswd Mgt

I've been asked how managing service accounts works in other organizations.
What is your policy for changing Service Account passwords? Is it based on
an event (e.g., administrator leaves the company) and or a time requirement
(e.g., every 90 days). If your organization does change Service Account
passwords, is it consistent across the organization? How do you enforce
your policy?

By Service Account, I'm referring to system IDs used to perform backups,
automate FTPs, run applications, jobs, scripts, etc.

thanks,
kathy
