QuestionQ1672

Risk Response and Reporting

Which of the following provides the STRONGEST indication that controls implemented under a risk action plan are ineffective?

  • A A security breach occurs.
  • B Internal audit identifies recurring exceptions.
  • C Changes are put into production without management approval.
  • D A sample is used to validate the action plan.
Explanation

Recurring exceptions identified by internal audit are repeated, independent evidence that the controls are not operating effectively or consistently. This indicates a systematic control weakness rather than an isolated event or a control-validation activity.
