​In past several programs I have worked, a recommendation for a risk, issue or opportunity is brought forward thru the systems engineering team and/or the risk manager, vetted and presented during a risk management board (RMB), for the senior body and the chair of the RMB to adjudicate.  Recently this notion of division of responsibility has come into question and I cannot find any documentation that reference back as to the process initial beginnings.  The argument in question is that to prevent any ethical entanglements (between the recommendation and adjudication, among the parties making them) given that risks/issues/opportunities could have financial and resource implications on any given program.  As reference, I read the DAU/DoD RIO Guide 2017, NAVSEA 5000.8 instruction and the fifth edition PMBOK.  Any thoughts?  Thank you kindly.
