Questions and answers

Questions about Control Register

Practical answers to common questions about managing this responsibility well.

Why does control register matter?

Know which controls exist, whether they are operating and what risks and obligations they support.

What should control register include?

It should cover control records and owners, control library, implementation status, control reviews and risk reduction, with enough context to support action and explain decisions.

Who should be responsible for control register?

Ownership should sit with the person who can make decisions and keep the information current. A specialist or governance team may provide the method, but accountability should not be left with an unnamed group.

How do you keep control register current?

Set review dates according to risk and reassess after relevant incidents, material change, new evidence or overdue follow-up work. Preserve the history so changes remain explainable.

What evidence should be retained for control register?

Keep the source information, owner, review and approval history, supporting documents and resulting actions needed to show what was considered and what happened next.
