Default Compass swinging?

This is probably something best left to someone with experience to avoid the
frustration of making interacting adjustments until you get it right. I had
the avionics tech do it for me at my last annual. He used test tools to
generate a magnetic field instead of actually taking the plane out onto a
compass rose on the ramp. The guy did a superb job.

I've got AC 43.13-1B, which describes the procedure to swing a compass.
What I can't find is the bureaucratic stuff -- who can do it (any pilot?),
and what paperwork follow-up is required (airframe logbook entry, or is
just making the new compass card sufficient?).
