Answers

D.
Communicate with the board the issue of residual risk
Answers
D.
Communicate with the board the issue of residual risk
Suggested answer: D

Explanation:

The CAE has a responsibility to communicate significant risks to the board, particularly when the residual risk exceeds the organization's risk appetite. By communicating with the board, the CAE ensures that the highest level of governance is aware of the risk and can make informed decisions about how to address it. Ignoring the risk, assuming responsibility without authority, or only ensuring senior management's acknowledgment without further action would be insufficient and not in line with the CAE's duties.
