Why each option

In a regulated industry, functional managers, who oversee specific operational areas, and advisory team panels, which typically include subject matter experts or regulatory specialists, are key stakeholders to help determine and address compliance requirements for new production phases.

ARisk steering committee

A risk steering committee primarily focuses on overall enterprise risk management and strategic risk oversight, not the granular operational compliance requirements of a specific production process.

BChief executive officer

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) is responsible for the overall strategic direction of the company and may provide executive sponsorship but is typically not involved in determining the detailed operational compliance requirements.

CFunctional managersCorrect

Functional managers are responsible for specific departments or functions within the organization and possess deep knowledge of operational processes, including the regulatory requirements pertinent to their areas. Their expertise is crucial for ensuring compliance in new production phases.

DBoard of directors

The Board of Directors provides governance and strategic oversight for the entire organization but is not usually involved in the day-to-day determination and addressing of specific project-level compliance requirements.

EAdvisory team panelCorrect

An advisory team panel often consists of subject matter experts, legal counsel, or regulatory specialists who can provide guidance on complex compliance requirements, industry standards, and best practices, making them invaluable for projects in regulated industries.
