Table Structures and Data Types

Each worksheet contains relational tables built with clear, standardized data structures to ensure consistency and ease of reporting:

Risk Register Sheet

• Risk ID (Text): Unique identifier for each risk.
• Description (Text): Detailed explanation of the risk.
• Category (Dropdown: e.g., Market, Operational, Financial, Regulatory): Classifies the nature of the risk.
• Likelihood (Number 1–5): Ranges from "Very Low" to "Very High".
• Impact (Number 1–5): Ranges from "Negligible" to "Catastrophic".
• Current Status (Dropdown: Open, Mitigating, Resolved).
• Mitigation Strategy (Text): Actions planned to reduce impact.
Owner (Text): Person or team responsible for managing the risk.
• Last Updated (Date-Time): Timestamp of last revision.

Profit & Loss by Risk Category Sheet

• Date (Date): Transaction date or period end.
• Revenue (Currency): Total income generated.
• Total Costs (Currency): Sum of all expenses.
• Profit Before Risk Adjustment (Currency).
• Risk-Adjusted Profit (Currency): Calculated after applying risk impact multipliers.
• Risk Category (Dropdown: Market, Operational, etc.).
• Source of Profit (Text): Where the profit originates (e.g., product line, region).

Monthly Profit vs. Risk Exposure Sheet

• Month (Text or Date): Monthly time period.
• Total Monthly Revenue (Currency).
• Total Monthly Costs (Currency).
• Net Profit (Currency).
• Aggregate Risk Exposure Score (Number 0–100): Sum of risk likelihood and impact weighted.

Formulas Required

The template leverages powerful Excel formulas to automate calculations and maintain data integrity:

• =SUMIFS(Profit!B:B, Profit!C:C, "Market"): Aggregates profit by risk category.
• =IF(AND(likelihood>3, impact>3), "High Risk", IF(likelihood>2, "Medium Risk", "Low Risk")): Automatically categorizes risk severity.
• =B2 - C2: Calculates net profit for each row.
• =IF(D2 > 0, D2 * E2, 0): Applies a risk adjustment factor (e.g., reduce profit by 10% if high risk).
• =AVERAGEIFS(Profit!Net Profit, Profit!Risk Category, "Operational"): Computes average profitability per category.
• =SUMPRODUCT(Risk!Likelihood, Risk!Impact): Generates total exposure score for the month.
• =TODAY() in update columns to automatically track last modification.

Conditional Formatting

Visual alerts are embedded to highlight critical information:

• Risk Level Highlighting: Cells with likelihood or impact >4 are colored red; 3 is yellow; below 3 is green.
• Profit Red Flags: Net profit < $0 is shaded in orange with a warning icon.
• High Exposure Thresholds: Risk exposure score >75 appears in red, triggering action alerts.
• Status Indicators: Open risks are highlighted with a blinking animation (via Excel conditional formatting).
• Empty Cells Alert: Missing data in mandatory fields (e.g., Owner) are marked with a warning border.

Instructions for the User

User Setup:

1. Enter risk details into the Risk Register sheet, ensuring all critical fields are completed.
2. Input monthly financial data into the Profit & Loss by Risk Category sheet with accurate dates and values.
3. Ensure that risk category names in both sheets match exactly to enable cross-referencing.
4. Use dropdowns for consistency—select from predefined options (e.g., "Market", "Regulatory") to avoid data errors.
5. Update the "Last Updated" column automatically by entering =TODAY() in each row when changes are made.

Reporting Workflow:

1. Review the Dashboard to identify key trends and outliers.
2. Navigate to the Scenario Analysis sheet to model hypothetical risks (e.g., 20% increase in operational costs).
3. Generate a print-ready report using "Page Layout" → "Print Titles" and set margins for professional output.
