Explanation
The project manager (Holly) is ultimately responsible for all aspects of project risk management, including ensuring that risk audits are scheduled and conducted at appropriate intervals throughout the project lifecycle. Risk audits examine whether risk responses are effective and whether the risk management process is being followed. While Thomas (A) from Risk Management may assist or participate, and Tracy (B) as sponsor may have a governance role, and the project team (C) may conduct the work, the accountability for ensuring risk audits happen appropriately rests with the project manager.
