Understanding the Matrix Table

The columns and rows in the table are defined in the Business Risk and Operational Risk field. On creating the required number of columns and rows, the range of Business and Operational Risk values needs to be specified in the columns and rows, respectively.

Example:

Risk Matrix table

Figure: Risk Matrix table

For the values configured in the table shown in the above figure, if the Risk value for Business Risk is 39 and Operational Risk is 10, the Overall Risk value will be 7.

The Overall Risk value is calculated as explained below:

Since Business Risk value is 39, the Overall Risk value is in the sixth column.
Since Operational Risk value is 10, the Overall Risk value is in the third row.
Hence, the Overall Risk value is 7.
