Understanding the Summary Tab of a Risk

The Summary tab gives you a business-level read on a single risk, through two groups of metrics: Risk Dimensions and Disclosure Diagnostics.

To open it, select a risk on the Overview tab, then choose the Summary tab in the risk's description.

Why this matters

  • update your risk register with an external assessment of the dimensions used to prioritise risks: Likelihood, Impact and Velocity
  • give your board quarterly, automatically generated metrics based on current data
  • benchmark your disclosure against your selected peers
  • find disclosure and risk-management gaps before your Annual Report

What the Summary tab shows

The tab groups its metrics into two sets.

How to use the ‘Risk Description’ - ‘Summary’ tab?

 
Risk Dimensions
  • Likelihood: how likely the risk is, relative to your other risks
  • Impact: the anticipated impact on your company
  • Velocity: the direction of change in likelihood over the past three months
Disclosure Diagnostics
  • Public Risk Disclosure: whether the risk appears in the risk factors section of your recent 10-K or Annual Report
  • Overall Disclosure Benchmark: how your disclosure compares with your selected peers

For how each of these metrics is scored, see [link: How the Summary tab metrics are scored].

Recommended next steps by key business process

The tab also gives Recommended next steps by key business process: high-level suggestions to guide action, drawn from a combination of the metrics that apply to each risk.
