Risk register is essential in achieving transparency

To achieve transparency, it is essential that there is insight into the risks which a company faces. Per risk needs to be clear what the likelyhood and the effect is. If necessary even made financially. It also helps in setting priorities: the highest risks must be tackled first. Besides standards such as PAS55 require risk information is stored and maintained in a risk register. Enterprise Resource Management (ERP) systems and Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) systems do not have this functionality.
