Every risk in the Risk Register was reviewed with its respective executive owner and all material controls in the existing controls sections of the Risk Register were deemed to be effective in reducing the residual risk. The Risk Controls Assessment was reviewed by the org's CEO Risk Management Committee and approved by the President and CEO.
