Instructions for the User
Users should begin by completing the Risk Inventory sheet to identify and catalog all possible financial risks relevant to their life situation. Each risk must be assigned a likelihood (1–5) and impact (1–5). Then, use formulas in the Risk Exposure Analysis sheet to calculate weighted scores for prioritization.
The Financial Profile should be updated monthly with new income, expenses, and asset changes. Ensure all entries are categorized correctly to allow accurate exposure calculations.
In the Contingency Planning sheet, assign real-time mitigation actions with defined timelines and owners. Users can set reminders or integrate this into calendar tools via links in Excel (e.g., Outlook).
At the end of each quarter, users should review the Planning Dashboard, which auto-generates visual summaries to track progress against key risk metrics.
