What is the purpose of post-audit outcomes in ICRA?

• A. To confirm ongoing compliance with containment controls and monitoring
• B. To end the program
• C. To reduce reporting
• D. To shift focus to other areas

Answer: (A)

Post-audit outcomes in ICRA focus on confirming that containment controls and the monitoring around them remain in place and effective after an audit. This step records whether the controls are functioning as intended, identifies any deficiencies, assigns corrective actions with timelines, and tracks progress. The goal is to sustain protection over time, support continuous improvement, and provide evidence of ongoing compliance to stakeholders and regulators. It’s about maintaining and enhancing protection, not ending the program, reducing reporting, or shifting attention away from risk management.
