Many organisations have a risk register. Fewer actually use it when they make decisions.

Four signs your GRC work is really supporting leadership

  1. Every risk is linked to the objective or project it threatens.
  2. Every risk has one owner and a response plan with a due date.
  3. Likelihood and impact are reassessed on a set schedule, not once a year.
  4. Controls and obligations are tracked against the risks they address.

The takeaway

A risk register reviewed regularly with leadership is a decision tool. One updated only before an audit is just a file.
