What is the MOST practical recommendation when risk management information is scattered across different documents?

The most practical recommendation when risk management information is scattered across different documents is to confirm that the risk management file references information from all documents. This approach enables a comprehensive and organized view of the risk management data, ensuring that all relevant information is interconnected.

Having references helps anyone reviewing the risk management file to easily locate the necessary documentation and understand the context of each piece of information. This also ensures compliance with regulatory requirements by demonstrating that all relevant risks are considered and documented.

Creating a summary, while helpful for quick reference, may not provide the depth and interconnectedness needed for thorough risk assessment and management. Simply confirming that the file contains copies of documents or taking no action could lead to critical gaps in information, making it challenging to assess risks effectively.
