QuestionQ1267

Risk Assessment

Which of the following is the GREATEST concern when uncontrolled changes are made to the control environment?

  • A An increase in control vulnerabilities
  • B An increase in inherent risk
  • C A decrease in control layering effectiveness
  • D An increase in the level of residual risk
Explanation

Uncontrolled changes can weaken, disable, or circumvent safeguards, thereby increasing residual risk—the exposure that remains after controls are applied. Inherent risk exists before controls and is not increased merely by changes to the control environment.
