When considering the risk rating on a matter, this can be a mix of legal, financial, commercial and operational outcomes. You may also like to consider whether this metric will be rendered within the context of the micro (business unit/geography) or macro (whole of organization) level.
The following may act as a useful guide, but your own ratings should be considered within the context of your organization:
- Low: No/minimal impact to financial / legal / commercial / operational outcomes. No reputation impact
- Medium: Moderate impact to financial / legal / commercial / operational outcomes or reputation at functional level
- High: Moderate / material impact to financial / legal / commercial / operational outcomes or reputation at divisional level
- Critical: Material impact to financial / legal / commercial / operational outcomes or reputation at organization level
