  3. Submit the risk register to business process owners for review and updating
  4. Monitor key risk indicators, and record the findings in the risk register

C: Business process owners typically cannot effectively identify risk to their business processes. They may not have the ability to be unbiased and may not have the appropriate skills or tools for evaluating risks.

C: Tying vendor records to user accounts may confirm valid accounts on an e-commerce application, but it does not consider user accounts that have been established without the supporting access request.

D: Tying access requests to user accounts confirms that all access requests have been processed; however, the test does not consider user accounts that have been established without the supporting access request.
