A draft financial procedure says: "The new controls are intended to mitigate the likelihood of duplicate payments." The writer wants to emphasize that the controls make duplicate payments less probable, not merely less harmful.
A collocation dictionary lists these common combinations:
mitigate risk, harm, impact, effects
reduce likelihood, probability, frequency
alleviate pain, hardship, burden
mediate conflict, dispute, negotiation
Which revision most precisely expresses the intended meaning and follows the collocation guidance?
