Risk Register

There are, and some are fine. The difference is what has been checked. This file was built from scratch, then every formula in it was recalculated by a separate checker that compares each result against an independently worked-out answer — 17 of them here. A template that looks right and totals wrong is worse than no template at all, and that is the usual failing of one downloaded from a search result.

It also opens with sample rows already filled in, so you can see every formula working before you touch it, and it is set up to print without fighting the page setup. No email wall, no signup, no watermark, and you can use it commercially.

A risk register lists what could go wrong, how likely it is and how much damage it would do. This Excel template scores each risk by multiplying likelihood by impact, each from 1 to 5, and gives it a High, Medium or Low rating automatically.

The risk profile counts high, medium and low risks, shows the highest score and names your top risk, so reviews start with what matters most.

Score likelihood and impact 1–5 each. The score and the High/Medium/Low band calculate — sort on Score to find what needs attention.

The file opens with sample rows so you can see every formula working before you change anything. Type your own figures over them. When you need more rows, insert them inside the existing block rather than underneath it, so the totals keep covering every row.
