- Points will be awarded in proportion to the number of rows completed (or partially completed). Partially completed rows will not receive full points. A maximum of 12 points are available for this question.

If fewer than three risks have been disclosed:

- Points will be awarded in proportion to the number of rows completed (or partially completed). Partially completed rows will not receive full points. A maximum of 4 points are avaliable per row.


Awareness scoring criteria

If three or more risks have been disclosed:

- Up to 12 points will be awarded in proportion to the number of complete rows (excluding column "Potential financial impact"), with any option except "Unknown" selected in columns "Time horizon", "Likelihood" and "Magnitude of impact"

If fewer than three risks have been disclosed:

- For each complete row with any option except "Unknown" selected in columns "Time horizon", "Likelihood" and "Magnitude of impact" - 4 points


Management scoring criteria

Full Awareness points must have been achieved in C2.2, C2.2a, C2.2b & C2.2c to be eligible for Management points in this question. Management points are awarded for up to 3 complete rows.

For each complete row:

- A company specific description in column "Company specific description" - 1 point
- The risk driver selected in column "Type of financial impact driver" is consistent and has clear rationale with the numerical figure in column "Potential financial impact" and text answer in column "Explanation of financial impact" - 1 point
- "Explanation of financial impact" explains how the financial impact was calculated, and clearly describes the potential impact - 1 point
- Management method" describes an action that is being implemented - 1 point
- Management method contains an example or case study - 1 point
