The corporate risk register is a comprehensive document that records identified risks, their assessment in terms of likelihood and impact, and the controls in place to manage them. It reflects the organization’s attitude toward risk and highlights areas where achieving objectives may be difficult. The CAE should consult this resource to align the audit plan with the organization's risk profile and ensure that high-risk areas are appropriately audited. References:
