,1.What are the roles of business versus risk management in developing and
implementing risk assessments?
A. Risk management, in its role as second line of defense, performs the risk
assessment process from beginning to end. There is no business line involvement.
B. The business owns the risk assessment process, while risk management develops
the framework, helps facilitate the process, and provides supervision and oversight.
C. Business owns the risk assessment process so risk management does not play a
role in the process.
D. Business management's role in the risk assessment process should be confined to
oversight.
Answer: B
Explanation:
The Principles for Risk Governance, as established by PRMIA (Professional Risk

Risk management provides supervision and oversight, ensuring that risk assessments

B
Oversight from Senior Management & the Board (Third Line of Defense)
Internal audit (third line of defense) independently reviews and provides assurance
that the risk
management framework is effective and that risk assessments are conducted
properly.
PRMIA’s Risk Governance Standards emphasize that internal audit should evaluate
the effectiveness of the risk assessment framework without being involved in its direct
execution.

Below is a detailed breakdown based on PRMIA risk management principles:
)
02
Step 1: Identify and Assess the Ineffective Control
8.
(V
A control is deemed ineffective when it fails to mitigate the identified risks to an
ps
acceptable level. The root cause of the failure must be determined through a Control

D
Effectiveness Review (CER). PRMIA recommends control testing and incident

analysis to assess the severity of the control failure. Step 2: Develop an Action Plan
80
to Address the Control Deficiency
t
es
B
PRMIA best practices state that risk management should prioritize corrective actions
rather than delaying remediation.
The organization must define an action plan to close the gap, which includes:
Revising or strengthening the control mechanisms.
Implementing new controls, if necessary.
Assigning responsibility for remediation to control owners.
Setting deadlines for resolution.
This step aligns with PRMIA’s Risk Governance Framework, which emphasizes
proactive risk management.
Step 3: Implement Corrective Measures and Monitor Progress
Once an action plan is designed, the organization should execute the corrective
