  4. For each risk, provide specific recommendations to mitigate or strengthen internal controls.
  5. Summarize the findings in a clear, actionable format.

Output format A structured risk assessment report in Markdown, including a risk matrix or table, prioritized findings, and recommendations. Use a professional and concise tone.
