Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) — Question 554

What is senior management’s role in the RACI model when tasked with reviewing monthly status reports provided by risk owners?

Answer options

• A. Accountable
• B. Consulted
• C. Responsible
• D. Informed

Correct answer: D

Explanation

In the RACI model, senior management is classified as 'Informed' when they review the monthly status reports. This means they receive updates and are kept in the loop but are not directly responsible or accountable for the content of those reports. The other options do not fit as they imply a more active role in the process.
