PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question
Which role is responsible for implementing the risk responses?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse the risk owner (accountable) with the risk actionee (responsible for implementation). In PRINCE2, the risk owner is accountable for managing the risk, but the risk actionee is the one who actually implements the agreed responses.

✓
The risk actionee
In PRINCE2, the risk actionee is the person responsible for implementing the risk responses that have been agreed upon. This role is assigned by the risk owner to carry out specific actions to mitigate, transfer, avoid, or accept the risk. The risk actionee reports back to the risk owner on the progress and effectiveness of the response.
