What is a risk register?
A risk register is a business tool used to identify key risks to the business. It sets out what these risks are, categorises and analyses the risk, assesses the likelihood of the risk occurring, details the risk owner and the mitigating action taken to reduce the risk.
How it is used?
Risk registers are commonly used by businesses as management tools – providing the owners or Board of Directors with an overview of risk and senior management with a clear approach at managing and reducing risk.
