Who approves an alternative EKMS inventory form?

Who approves an alternative EKMS inventory form?

• A. EKMS Manager
• B. DCMS
• C. Inspector General
• D. Comptroller

Answer: (A)

In EKMS operations, accountability for crypto material and related records is managed by the EKMS Manager. When an inventory form other than the standard one is needed, it's the EKMS Manager who has the authority to approve that alternative. This keeps inventory records consistent, policy-compliant, and properly traceable. The other roles—DCMS, the Inspector General, and the Comptroller—serve separate functions (operations oversight, audits/investigations, and financial management, respectively) and do not grant approval for alternate inventory documentation.
