Which of the following is an example of inherent risk?

    Correct Answer: C

    Inherent risk refers to the risk that exists in the absence of any actions or controls. The risk of non-compliance with regulations exists inherently, regardless of any internal controls or processes the organization might put in place. Hence, the organization not complying with regulations is an example of inherent risk.
