PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question
In PRINCE2, which two responsibilities are separated to ensure independent assurance?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse the separation of roles for assurance with other role separations, such as the Project Board's separation of Senior User and Senior Supplier, which is about balancing business, user, and supplier interests, not about independent assurance.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Project Management and Project Assurance
In PRINCE2, the separation of Project Management and Project Assurance ensures that those who are managing the project (Project Manager) are not the same individuals providing independent assurance. This prevents conflicts of interest and ensures objective oversight of the project's adherence to plans, standards, and controls.
