THE END OF THE BEGINNING, NOT THE BEGINNING OF THE END
The 1st line owns non-financial risk, however the 2nd and 3rd lines struggle to keep pace the changes, resulting in  duplication, control-testing fatigue and persistent data challenges. What is needed is fewer box-ticking controls,  more common taxonomies and shared data so that everyone is managing risk, not just producing evidence.
