Accessibility Plug-In: Functional images have inaccurate and duplicate accessible names

A client did some testing with the accessibility plug-in enabled and they reported the following:

Both the Riskonnect site logo and [CLIENT NAME] logo have the same alt text "Riskonnect Business Continuity & Resilience". In the case of functional images like these (meaning, images that are meant to initiate an action) the alt text needs to convey the action that will be initiated upon activating it. The Riskonnect site logo, for example, takes the user back to the homepage when activated, so it might have alt text like "Riskonnect home". The [CLIENT NAME] logo, on the other hand, when activated, takes the users to a list of their tasks (so it might be "My Tasks at [CLIENT NAME]" or something similar). Ultimately, both should have accessible names that are unique and describe their destination/purpose. Please see the Functional Images<https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/images/functional/> portion of the W3C's Images Tutorial for more information and a couple of code snippet examples.


They gave the following steps to recreate the issue:

Open Riskonnect site

With screen reader engaged, navigate over the linked images described above (or simply inspect the code for both of these img elements)

Notice how they have identical alternative ("alt") text, even though their purpose and destination differs
