Why each option

Consistently recording risk assessment results in a risk register primarily benefits the accuracy of risk profiles by providing a historical and current view of identified risks.

AAssessment of organizational risk appetite

While a risk register informs risk appetite, it doesn't primarily assess it; risk appetite is determined by management.

BCompliance with best practice

While recording in a risk register is a best practice, compliance with it is not the primary benefit regarding risk management outcomes.

CAccountability for loss events

A risk register helps track accountability for risk ownership and mitigation but does not directly ensure accountability for loss events after they occur.

DAccuracy of risk profilesCorrect

A risk register serves as a central repository for all identified risks, their assessment results, mitigation strategies, and current status. Consistently recording this information ensures that the organization has an accurate, up-to-date, and comprehensive view of its entire risk landscape, allowing for more precise risk profiling, trend analysis, and informed decision-making over time.
