I feel like option E might be misleading; just because they have more information doesn't mean it's necessarily useful.

I'm a bit confused about option A; it seems too strong to say shareholders know exactly how bad the risk is just from this report.

I remember a practice question about risk disclosures, and I think option D could be correct since it highlights the importance of informing shareholders.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think option C makes sense because it shows the directors are acknowledging the risks involved.

Based on the document options provided, I think the correct answer is B and C. Option A doesn't contain the phrase "fact find", and the query is looking for that exact phrase, not just the individual words.
