FRM Part II · FRM Exam Part II · Risk Measurement and Assessment
Which feature best distinguishes a workshop-based RCSA from a questionnaire-based RCSA?
Workshop-based RCSA relies on facilitated group discussion to identify risks and reach consensus, giving depth, while questionnaire-based RCSA is efficient and standardized for covering many units but offers less dialogue and challenge.
- AWorkshops allow facilitated discussion and consensus among participants, while questionnaires are efficient for broad, standardized coverageCorrect
- BWorkshops never involve business managers, while questionnaires always do
- CQuestionnaires produce quantitative loss distributions directly, while workshops do not
- DWorkshops are used only for external loss data
Explanation
Workshops use facilitation and group debate to surface risks and reach consensus, though they are resource intensive. Questionnaires scale cheaply and are consistent but offer less discussion depth. The other options misstate both methods.
Did you get it right without looking?
One question tells you little. A timed set on Risk Measurement and Assessment shows your real accuracy, how long you take and where you lose marks.
