Business Continuity Professional Exam Prep #2

Answer: B - False. Accountability for the Business Continuity Plan should come directly from the organization’s senior management and/or Board of Directors.

Key Takeaway: If the accountability and importance of the Business Continuity Plan are not driven from the top down, then the Business Continuity Plan is likely to fail. While Human Resources plays an important part in the creation and management of the Business Continuity Plan, the accountability for the work needs to come from the senior management and/or Board of Directors.
