Which of the following is the PRIMARY reason for sharing risk assessment reports with senior stakeholders?

Senior stakeholders, particularly senior management and boards, are ultimately responsible for making strategic decisions about how to address identified risks, including accepting, mitigating, transferring, or avoiding them. Risk assessment reports provide the critical information (likelihood, impact, current controls, etc.) they need to make informed and effective risk response decisions that align with organizational objectives and risk appetite.

While risk owners are accountable, sharing reports is primarily for decision-making by senior leadership, who then direct accountability.

Securing resourcing for risk treatment is a consequence of decision-making, not the primary reason for presenting the report itself.

Senior management primarily receives the risk profile and assessment; compiling it is the role of risk management practitioners.
