A French risk register: owner, trigger, response and remaining risk

Edited by Chris Lee · Updated · About the library

Read a French risk register, distinguishing a possible event from an incident, the monitoring role from approval authority, and residual risk from closure.

In short

A risk register describes a possible event, its consequences and a planned response. The person responsible for monitoring or mitigation need not have authority to approve a budget. A response can reduce a risk without eliminating it. Check whether an event remains possible, has actually occurred, or has been explicitly closed.

The register distinguishes monitoring a possible late delivery from authorising a contingency expense. Illustration: Atelier

RubriqueContenu

Événement possibleLes tables pourraient arriver après la date prévue.

ConséquenceLa première séance manquerait de tables pour les activités prévues.

Responsable du suiviInès vérifie la date annoncée auprès du fournisseur.

Déclencheur de la réponseLe fournisseur confirme un retard supérieur à deux jours.

Réponse prévueDemander la location temporaire de tables.

Autorité de validationLe responsable du budget doit approuver la location.

Risque résiduelLes tables de location pourraient aussi être indisponibles.

État au 5 septembreRetard non confirmé ; risque ouvert.

Incident I1 · Accès bloqué

Le 4 septembre, une porte d’accès est restée bloquée. L’incident a été constaté et un passage alternatif a été ouvert. La réparation définitive reste à vérifier. Cet incident ne constitue pas la preuve que le risque R1 s’est réalisé.

This hypothetical teaching case supplies all names, dates, events and approval roles.
Question 1No account needed
What is R1’s possible event?

Choose one answer.

Answer and explanation

Tables arriving late.. The event is a possible delivery delay.

Question 2No account needed
Has the delivery delay occurred as of 5 September?

Choose one answer.

Answer and explanation

It is not confirmed in the supplied register.. An open risk entry is not confirmation of its realisation.

Question 3No account needed
Who monitors the supplier’s date?

Choose one answer.

Answer and explanation

Inès.. The monitoring row assigns that task to her.

Question 4No account needed
Can Inès approve rental expenditure by virtue of monitoring R1?

Choose one answer.

Answer and explanation

Not from this table; approval belongs to the budget holder.. The two roles are expressly separated.

Question 5No account needed
What triggers the proposed response?

Choose one answer.

Answer and explanation

Confirmed delay of more than two days.. The threshold is stated in the trigger row.

Question 6No account needed
What remains possible after the proposed response?

Choose one answer.

Answer and explanation

Rental tables may be unavailable.. That is the residual risk expressly recorded.

Question 7No account needed
Which event is a current incident?

Choose one answer.

Answer and explanation

The access door blocking on 4 September.. The door problem is recorded as having occurred.

Question 8No account needed
Does opening an alternative passage verify permanent repair?

Choose one answer.

Answer and explanation

No; verification remains outstanding.. The incident note distinguishes temporary access from verified repair.

Status words need an object

Ouvert means that this risk remains under consideration; it does not mean the feared event has occurred. Résolu or clôturé would need an explicit status statement and supporting context. In the incident note, a temporary workaround exists while permanent repair is still unverified.

Inès assure le suivi du risque ; la validation de la dépense relève du responsable du budget.

Inès monitors the risk; approval of the expenditure falls to the budget holder.

When relaying a register, preserve the chain: possible event, consequence, monitoring owner, trigger, response, approval and remaining exposure. Omitting one link can turn a contingent plan into an instruction or a workaround into a claimed resolution.
