Explanation

The Chief Audit Executive (CAE) would be justified in reporting the situation to the organization's board if, in the opinion of the CAE, the level of residual risk assumed by senior management is too high (1). Even though the new process of obtaining written approval by the vice president of sales addresses the issue, if the CAE believes that the residual risk remains too high, it is their duty to report it to the board. The cost of implementing a preventive control or the compliance with the new process does not change the responsibility of the CAE to report significant residual risks to the board.
