File: awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/managed-policies.md

Summary

Added new Cost Explorer permissions (ce:GetCostAndUsageComparisons and ce:GetCostComparisonDrivers) to AWSBillingReadOnlyAccess policy.

Security assessment

The change adds billing analytics permissions without any security context. This appears to be a routine feature update for cost management capabilities rather than addressing security concerns or documenting security features.
