Illustrates who is Responsible, Accountable, Consulted and Informed within an enterprise framework.

• A. Governance
• B. RACI chart
• C. RACI model
• D. Control objective

Answer: (B)

Mapping roles and responsibilities for activities within a process is achieved with a RACI chart. This tool lays out, for each task, who is Responsible for doing the work, who is Accountable and owns the final outcome, who should be Consulted for input, and who should be Informed about progress or decisions. By making these designations explicit, the chart removes ambiguity about ownership, prevents gaps or duplicated effort, and speeds decision-making because everyone knows who has the authority and who needs input.

In an enterprise framework, this visualization helps coordinate governance by clarifying responsibilities across processes and stakeholders. It’s distinct from broader concepts like governance, which refers to the overall system of oversight and policies, or from a control objective, which is a specific goal a control aims to achieve. While some use the terms RACI model and RACI chart interchangeably, the chart is the concrete representation that shows how four types of participation map to each activity.
