Viewing Engagement-Level Residual Risk

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to describe how to view the residual risk rating of a control-based engagement risk assessment project with one or multiple associated issues.

Engagement-Level Residual Risk

The residual risk for an engagement shows in the Residual Risk field in the Engagement Summary area of the engagement page. This field only shows a value if the engagement has at least one associated issue with a residual risk rating. Otherwise it is blank.

The residual risk for an engagement is the highest residual risk rating of its associated issues. Associated issues include not only the issues raised for a particular engagement, but also issues raised for vendor- or service-level controls in previous engagements that required the same control and that include the same supplier (for vendor-level controls) or commodities (for service-level controls).

View Residual Risk Rating From One Issue

In this simulation, you will view the residual risk for an engagement that has one issue.

View Residual Risk Rating From Multiple Issues

In this simulation, you will view the residual risk for an engagement that has more than one issue.
