Correct answer & explanation
✓
Tailor the report to the audience's level of understanding.
Risk and control monitoring reports must be tailored to the audience's level of understanding to ensure that stakeholders can effectively interpret the information. For example, an executive summary should focus on high-level risk exposure and strategic impacts, while detailed reports for control owners may include operational metrics. This practice aligns with the principle of communicating risk information in a manner that supports informed decision-making.
