Creating the risk register 1.Identify 2.Categorise (strategic / operational / regulatory) 3.Score (1-9: impact x probability) 4.Allocate responsibility 5.Decide how you will mitigate or manage 6.Review at regular intervals RiskType Date risk added to register Person responsible for the risk Initial risk rating: 1-9 Current risk rating Target risk rating Last action taken to manage the risk Next planned action Over- dependence on conveyancing referrals Strategic Mrs Senior Partner Taken external advice on diversifying source of work or merger Review advice and plan next steps

It’s SRA Principle 8 again! Run your business effectively and in accordance with proper governance and sound financial and risk management principles

Financial management Your obligations: Maintain systems and controls for monitoring: o the financial stability and viability of the firm, and o any risks to money and assets entrusted to you by clients/ others Processes for controlling: o budgets, expenditure and cash flow o identifying and monitoring financial risks (including credit risks and exposure) Take steps to address issues identified (plan of action for remedying issues and notify SRA, if necessary) *(Lexcel imposes compulsory financial management requirements)

Reporting obligations Notify the SRA promptly: of serious financial difficulty of any indicators of serious financial difficulty, eg breach of bank covenants inability to pay PII premium, rent or salaries if you become aware your business may not be financially viable to continue trading as a going concern of any serious issues identified as a result of your financial monitoring

What could damage a firm’s financial viability? Common issuesThings to consider Loss of major clientsAre you over-reliant on one or a small number of clients/introducers? Loss of key peopleCan you institutionalise the relationship with clients? Inappropriate bank funding Is too much finance being provided through an overdraft ? InvestmentHow will the investment be financed? Poor budgets and MIDo you prepare detailed budgets & monitor fee income/expenses/cash flow performance against budgets?
