Effective risk reporting is crucial for maintaining oversight and driving the necessary actions to mitigate risks. Risk reporting within StartRisk is an integral process designed to provide businesses with options on how they choose to report while at the same time offering a clear and precise understanding of their risk profile.
StartRisk currently includes the following structured risk reporting:
Exception-Based Reporting: This type of reporting focuses on anomalies or exceptions, i.e., risks that do not align with the predefined risk appetite. It efficiently directs attention to areas requiring immediate action or reassessment.
Executive Summary: This section of the report provides a high-level overview of the current risk profile, summarising how many risk classes are outside of the set risk appetite. Users have the option to add custom commentary to this section, providing specific insights or contextual information for stakeholders.
Risk Class Section: Each risk class is detailed in its own section within the report, including a summary of the class and a focus on any risks that exceed the risk appetite. This structured detail allows for targeted discussions and decision-making regarding specific areas of concern.
