Which of the following is NOT out of a few things to be kept in mind when determining what to do FIRST?

Answer options

• A. Think practically about your role as an advisor. Involve the business units in the decision process rather than making decisions for them
• B. Calculate the institution's consolidated risk profile
• C. Make sure you understand the level of risk the bank will tolerate, so decisions do not exceed this limit
• D. Add value by analyzing regulatory requirements for the business units before you present proposed or final rules or solutions

Correct answer: B

Explanation
