Risk Register And Mitigations

The risk register is the shared control surface for sponsors, reviewers, and investors. It identifies what can go wrong, who owns the risk, how it is mitigated, how it is monitored, and when it becomes a material event.

Risk Scoring

Use a simple likelihood and impact scale unless a financing document specifies another method.

Score	Likelihood	Impact
1	Rare	Limited financial or operating effect.
2	Unlikely	Manageable delay, cost, or performance issue.
3	Possible	Material effect requiring management attention.
4	Likely	Significant effect on delivery, revenue, or repayment.
5	Almost certain	Severe effect on viability, compliance, or stakeholder trust.

Eligibility Implications

Risk findings can affect RICA eligibility, financing conditions, covenants, reporting cadence, reserve requirements, insurance requirements, purchase eligibility, and investor disclosure. The Project Information Model must state whether each high residual risk is acceptable, conditional, or disqualifying.
