+When a handshake is accepted, Organizations logs membership events in CloudTrail, available only in the management account’s event history. If the account was standalone and joined a new organization, an `AccountJoinedOrganization` event is logged with `joinedMethod:Invited` and `joinedTime` fields. If the account departed one organization and joined another, both an `AccountDepartedOrganization` event with `departedMethod:Left` and `departedTime` and an `AccountJoinedOrganization` event with `joinedMethod:Invited` and `joinedTime` are logged in their respective management accounts.
