IIA-CIA-Part1 Exam - Question 18


Which of the following would not be a factor for senior management to consider when determining the internal audit activity's role in an organization's risk management process?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

The extent to which the internal audit activity is outsourced would not be a factor for senior management to consider when determining the internal audit activity's role in an organization's risk management process. The primary considerations would be the maturity level of risk management practices in the organization, the competency of the internal auditors in risk management, and the nature of the business and the environment in which the organization operates.

The correct answer should be A: The factor that would not be considered by senior management when determining the internal audit activity's role in an organization's risk management process is the extent to which the internal audit activity is outsourced. While outsourcing may affect how internal audit operates, it is not directly relevant to its role in risk management.
