    We are reevaluating the key roles within the business that support TRPM, specifically: completing internal assessments, reviewing/approving findings (potential issues).  On occasion, these person it's assigned to may want or need to delegate these tasks to different members of the business or organization.  Regardless of who completes the tasks, the person that delegated the task remains accountable. Does anyone have a policy that outlines when this is acceptable?

    You may write your policy to reflect the delegation of the tasks as a practice in your organization. However, I'd suggest that you keep it high level enough to give you flexibility. For example, instead of itemizing each task to an owner who can delegate, place the accountability with the Line of Business Management to support the TPRM framework within their respective domains and fulfill their obligations, as stated in your policy. 
    I would love to hear how other members would address this situation.
