Excel Template Description: Risk Management Client Management Summary View

This comprehensive Excel template is specifically designed to support Risk Management within the context of Client Management. The template operates under a Summary View style, enabling stakeholders—including risk officers, client service managers, and executives—to quickly assess critical risks associated with individual clients or client portfolios in a clear, structured format. This version eliminates redundant details and focuses on high-level insights derived from core data points.

The purpose of this template is to streamline decision-making by providing an at-a-glance overview of risk exposure per client, identifying trends, flagging high-risk behaviors, and supporting proactive mitigation strategies. It integrates risk scoring models with client attributes such as financial performance, compliance status, historical interactions, and relationship maturity.

Sheet Names

• Client Summary: Central dashboard showing key metrics for each client.
• Risk Profile Matrix: A cross-tabulation of client segments by risk type and severity level.
• Data Source & Metadata: Contains definitions, data sources, version history, and input validation rules.
• Notes & Actions Log: Tracks user-initiated risk assessments, mitigation actions, and follow-ups.
• Charts & Dashboards (Dynamic): Embedded charts that automatically update based on summarized data from the Client Summary sheet.

Table Structures and Column Details

The primary table structure is located in the "Client Summary" sheet and includes the following columns:

Data Types and Formulas Used

All data types are standardized for consistency and analysis:

• Client ID: Text (unique identifier)
• Client Name: Text (string)
• Account Value: Currency (USD, formatted with $ and comma separator)
• Risk Rating: Integer from 1 to 5 (calculated via weighted scoring model)
• Risk Category: Text (categorized as Operational, Fraud, Credit, Regulatory, etc.)
• Potential Loss Exposure: Currency (auto-calculated based on risk rating and account value)
• Compliance Status: Text (e.g., "Compliant," "In Review," "Pending")
• Mitigation Status: Text, updated manually or via formula logic when actions are logged.

Key formulas include:

• =IF(C2="Technology", 1.2, IF(C2="Energy", 1.5, IF(C2="Agriculture", 0.8, 1))): Applies sector-specific risk weights to base score.
• =IF(D2>0, D2*E2*0.15, 0): Calculates potential exposure based on account value and risk rating (e.g., higher ratings = higher exposure).
• =IF(F2="In Review", "High Risk", IF(F2="Compliant", "Low Risk", "Medium")): Dynamic status mapping to risk level.
• =TODAY()-G2: Calculates days since last audit for overdue tracking.
• =IF(H2="In Review", "Action Required", IF(H2="Completed", "Resolved", "Ongoing")): Determines next steps in mitigation process.

Conditional Formatting Rules

To enhance visibility and alert users to high-risk scenarios, conditional formatting is applied across the sheet:

• Risk Rating (Column E): Red (5), Orange (4), Yellow (3), Green (1–2).
• Potential Loss Exposure: Highlights values above 500,000 in red with a warning icon.
• Compliance Status: Red for "In Review" or "Pending," green for "Compliant."
• Next Review Date: Background turns yellow if the date is within 30 days of today.
• Mitigation Status: Color-coded by status: Green (Completed), Orange (Pending), Red (None).
