Sheet Names

• Dashboard Summary: High-level view of key risk indicators and financial health metrics.
• Risk Register: Centralized list of identified risks, with associated financial impacts, likelihoods, and mitigation actions.
• Financial Exposure by Risk Type: Detailed breakdown of financial exposure across categories (e.g., credit, market, operational).

• Data Input & Source Definitions: Contains metadata for data sources, definitions, and input guidelines.
• Charts & Visualizations: Embedded charts and graphs based on the dashboard data.

Table Structures and Data Types

Each sheet is structured with clearly defined table formats that ensure consistency and ease of use:

Risk Register Sheet

All fields are standardized with data types: text for identifiers and descriptions, numeric for financial exposure, and categorical (dropdown) for impact/likelihood. The "Financial Exposure" column is formatted as currency with 2 decimal places.

Financial Exposure by Risk Type Sheet

This table aggregates financial exposure by category and calculates thresholds based on pre-defined limits (e.g., 25% of total portfolio). The "Threshold Exceeded?" column is automatically populated using conditional logic.

Formulas Required

The following formulas ensure dynamic updates and accurate calculations:

• =SUMIF(): Used to sum financial exposure within specific risk categories.
• =VLOOKUP(): Links data between the Risk Register and Exposure sheets for automatic updates.
• =IF(AND(A2>=500000, B2="High"), "Alert", ""): Detects high-exposure risks requiring attention.
• =ROUND(C2/D2*100, 2): Calculates percentage exposure relative to total portfolio.
• =TODAY() and =NOW(): Automatically populates review dates and update timestamps.

Conditional Formatting

The template uses conditional formatting to highlight critical data points:

• Red fill for financial exposure values exceeding 30% of total portfolio threshold.
• Yellow highlight for high likelihood or high impact risks.
• Green background for low-risk entries or mitigated risks with “Closed” status.
• Data bars in exposure columns to show relative magnitude of financial risk.
• Icon sets for status (e.g., warning icons for “Ongoing”, checkmarks for “Resolved”).

User Instructions

For Office Use:

• Open the file using Microsoft Excel 2016 or later (preferably Microsoft 365).
• Enter risk descriptions, ownership details, and financial exposure values in the Risk Register sheet.
• Update the "Last Reviewed Date" column with each manual review to ensure audit trail integrity.
• The dashboard automatically recalculates all metrics when data is updated.
• Review charts monthly or quarterly depending on organizational policy.
• If a risk exceeds the threshold, assign it to the mitigation tracker and update action plans accordingly.
