  • A Evaluate effectiveness of risk responses.
  • B Revise risk classifications.
  • C Execute control test plans.
  • D Analyze the control assessments.

A significant organizational change can alter control responsibilities, approval paths, and the effectiveness of existing controls. The control owner should analyze control assessments first to identify the restructuring’s impact and any control gaps; the resulting findings guide subsequent control testing, risk classification updates, and evaluation of risk responses.
