Question 117

A risk manager documents the causes of a risk in the risk register but needs to ensure the risk is adequately described. Which aspect is critical for the risk manager to consider when describing the causes?

    Correct Answer: B

    When describing the causes of a risk in the risk register, it's critical that the causes represent actual conditions. This ensures that the documented risks are based on factual and realistic information, which is essential for accurate risk assessment and management. Hypothetical scenarios or uncertain conditions do not provide a solid foundation for effectively mitigating risks.
