The register, and why it drifts
A risk register is accurate on the day it is signed off and slightly wrong every day after that. Owners change roles, ratings stop matching the evidence, review dates slide, and nobody notices until a committee asks a question the register cannot answer. Holding that drift back is the job.
You will carry two or three client engagements at a time, sitting alongside the consultants who own each relationship. They handle the client; you own the data underneath it — entries, ratings, ownership, ageing, movement, and the reporting that comes out the other end.
Your week
- Maintain risk registers, control matrices and issue logs across live client engagements.
- Test that ratings, ownership and review dates are consistent with the agreed methodology, and challenge entries that are not.
- Analyse exception ageing, remediation throughput and control performance; build the monthly and quarterly reporting packs.
- Prepare committee and board materials with clear commentary on movement since the previous period.
- Support control testing rounds by sampling, gathering evidence and documenting results.
- Improve the register templates and analysis models we reuse across clients.
What you need to have done before
- Kept a register, log or tracker accurate over time in a risk, internal audit, compliance or business analysis role — one to three years of it.
- A bachelor’s degree in commerce, economics, statistics, business or a related field.
- Strong Excel or Google Sheets: pivot tables, lookups, conditional logic, clean chart building.
- The ability to write a paragraph of commentary that explains what a number means, not just what it is.
- Comfort pushing back politely on control owners who have not updated their entries.
Nice to have: exposure to GRC platforms, Power BI or Tableau, or progress towards CIA, CRMA or a risk management certification.
