PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Processes Practice Question
Who is responsible for approving the End Project Report?
⚠ Common exam trap
PRINCE2F often tests the distinction between roles responsible for creating versus approving management products. Candidates might incorrectly assume the Project Manager approves the End Project Report because they are deeply involved in its creation, but approval is a governance responsibility of the Project Board.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Project Board
In PRINCE2, the End Project Report is a key management product that provides a summary of the project's performance and is used to gain approval to close the project. The Project Board is responsible for approving this report because it holds the ultimate decision-making authority and accountability for the project's outcomes. The Project Manager prepares the report, but the Board approves it.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Senior Supplier
Why it's wrong here
The Senior Supplier provides resources and technical assurance for products, and holds no accountability for confirming project closure. It is tempting because suppliers report on deliverable completion, which would be the correct role when approving product acceptance or supplier work packages.
- ✗
Project Manager
Why it's wrong here
The Project Manager drafts the End Project Report and submits it, but cannot approve it, since approval is a Project Board decision. It is tempting because the Project Manager owns project documentation and closure activities, which would be the correct role for preparing and circulating the report.
- ✓
Project Board
Why this is correct
The Project Board approves the End Project Report, since it confirms whether the project delivered its products and achieved the Business Case. This satisfies the stem because closure approval is a board-level decision within Directing a Project, not a Project Manager responsibility.
- ✗
Senior User
Why it's wrong here
The Senior User represents user interests and benefits realisation, not project closure authorisation; the End Project Report is approved by the Project Board, with accountability resting elsewhere. It is tempting because the Senior User validates that products meet requirements, which would be the correct role for accepting delivered products.
