Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) — Question 708
The PRIMARY benefit of maintaining an up-to-date risk register is that it helps to:
Answer options
- A. ensure business unit risk uniformly distributed
- B. build a risk profile for management review
- C. quantify the organization's risk appetite
- D. implement uniform controls for common risk scenarios
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer, B, is right because a risk register provides a comprehensive overview of risks, which aids management in assessing and reviewing risk profiles. The other options, while relevant to risk management, do not directly address the primary purpose of a risk register, which is to inform management about the current risk landscape.
