Questions and answers

Questions about Risk Register

Practical answers to common questions about managing this responsibility well.

Why does risk register matter?

Give every material risk a clear owner, an explainable score and a practical path to treatment.

What should risk register include?

It should cover risk scenarios and consequences, inherent, residual and target scores, owners and review dates, configurable risk matrix and linked controls, assets, suppliers and tasks, with enough context to support action and explain decisions.

Who should be responsible for risk register?

Ownership should sit with the person who can make decisions and keep the information current. A specialist or governance team may provide the method, but accountability should not be left with an unnamed group.

How do you keep risk register current?

Set review dates according to risk and reassess after relevant incidents, material change, new evidence or overdue follow-up work. Preserve the history so changes remain explainable.

What evidence should be retained for risk register?

Keep the source information, owner, review and approval history, supporting documents and resulting actions needed to show what was considered and what happened next.
