Answers
D.
The risk acceptances with issues reflect a small percentage of the total population
Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

The mitigating factor that would most significantly minimize the impact of not renewing IT risk acceptances in a timely manner is having documented compensating controls over the business processes. Compensating controls are alternative controls that reduce or eliminate the risk when the primary control is not feasible or cost-effective. The other factors, such as previous approval by senior management, unchanged business environment, and small percentage of issues, do not mitigate the risk as effectively as compensating controls.Reference:ISACA CISA Review Manual 27th Edition Chapter 1
