    It’s certainly a good idea to explain it in writing … any attempt to explain it in pictures would not be as successful!

    Identify the risk

    Explain how / why it’s a risk

    Expand to detail the potential consequences if that risk were to crystallise

    Quantify … if possible, although that quantification could be a major problem. I think that you would have to talk in generalities, something like:

    “If the risk were to crystallise the effect on revenue would most probably be so material as to put the future viability of the entity in doubt”

    But trying to put a $ value on it could prove to be impossible

    OK?
