Does control account level need to be in the same level as work package level?

Communications Management Construction Earned Value Management Work Breakdown Structures (WBS)

In a project, WBS is defined in sufficient detail to facilitate proper monitoring and control and achieve the objectives.

Execution level monitoring is done at lowest level of WBS ( say work package WP level).

Is it necessary to also to fix the control account at this level?
If so, will this not increase the work load for control account personnel?

If control account is positioned at a level higher than the execution progress monitoring level, then the WP has to be rolled upto control account level. In that case, progress monitoring will be done at lowest level and control account will be at higher WBS level.

In such situation, the key stakeholder will not be able to know the detail of where the problem/issue lies?

How to overcome this issue?

Hmm....I don't know if it's not ethical, but maybe just a lessons learned. Keep it in mind anyways.

Trust my words, I am very well aware of the company's Ethics Policy and Regulations.
