Give your board a risk register they can actually rely on
Built by a an expert enterprise risk register consultant - former state government Chief Risk Officer who has presented risk to Ministers, boards, and regulators for over a decade — not a generic template with your sk-logo on it.

Most risk registers don't survive contact with a board
A spreadsheet with fifty rows and a red-amber-green colour scale isn't a risk register — it's a compliance artefact nobody reads until something goes wrong. Boards are increasingly asking sharper questions: who owns this risk, what's actually being done about it, and how would we know if it were getting worse. If your current reporting can't answer those questions in the room, it isn't doing its job.
What's included
Enterprise risk register
Built from scratch or restructured from what you have — risks defined, owned, rated, and linked to real controls.
Board reporting template
A reporting format built for a 15-minute board discussion, not a 40-page document nobody opens.
One live board presentation
Delivered or co-delivered, to embed the new approach and answer the hard questions in the room.
Built on real board-level experience, not theory
Dr Edward Phelps directed enterprise-wide risk and corporate strategy across 26 divisions as Chief Risk Officer for a NSW Government department, established the department's enterprise risk framework and governance policy suite from the ground up, and briefed Ministers and boards directly for over a decade — including managing strategic risk across a $2.6 billion reform portfolio.
This isn't a template pulled from a course. It's a system built and used at genuine scale.

Who This Is For
This service is designed for Australian small and mid-sized business owners, boards and executive teams who need credible, board-ready risk reporting but lack the in-house risk expertise or headcount to build it themselves. Whether you're preparing for a funding round, managing insurance renewal, responding to insurer or auditor questions, or simply strengthening your governance maturity, a professional board risk reporting pack signals to stakeholders that cyber, operational and strategic risk is managed with care and rigour.
I work closely with business owners and boards across Australian industries — providing corporate governance advisory australia tailored to your scale, complexity and regulatory environment. If you've been running your business without formal risk reporting and need to close that gap quickly, or if your current risk reporting isn't landing with your board or insurers, this is the fix.
Why Work With a Chief Risk Officer Consultant
Building a board risk register from scratch takes governance expertise you may not have in-house. A chief risk officer consultant brings that expertise — I've led enterprise risk across government, built risk reporting for boards of $200M+ organisations, and designed risk frameworks that actually work for businesses your size. You get the benefit of that experience without the $150K+ salary of a full-time CRO, and without the 6-month ramp-up time a new hire would need.
The result is a risk register and reporting pack that your board will respect, your insurers will recognise, and your team can actually maintain and use day-to-day.
