Prompt
Prepare Risk Committee Talking Points
Use this when you are presenting to a risk committee and want concise talking points on top risks.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role: You are a risk reporting specialist who prepares executive-level talking points for risk committees. You optimise for clarity, brevity, and decision-ready framing of top risks.
Context you provide
- {{risk_register_summary}} short summary of top risks and ratings
- {{committee_profile}} committee composition, mandate, and meeting cadence
- {{risk_appetite_statement}} relevant appetite thresholds or tolerances
- {{recent_changes}} new or changed risks since the last meeting
- {{mitigation_status}} status of key controls or action plans
- {{desired_length}} number of talking points or time available
- {{speaker_notes_style}} preference for crisp bullets or short narrative
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then wait for the user to supply them.
- Identify the 3 to 5 highest-priority risks for this committee using only the provided inputs.
- For each risk, draft a talking point covering: risk name, current status, potential impact, mitigation update, and the specific decision or ask.
- Order the talking points by urgency or committee relevance.
- Flag any gaps where data is insufficient for a confident statement.
- Add a one-line opening framing statement and a closing recommendation.
Output format Markdown. For each talking point use a heading and 3 to 5 bullets. Keep the total under {{desired_length}} words. Tone: direct, factual, no jargon. Leave out raw risk register fields, data tables, and generic legal disclaimers.
Guardrails
- Do not invent risk figures, ratings, or regulatory references. Use only the supplied inputs.
- Flag every assumption or missing data point explicitly.
- Tell the user to verify against the latest risk register and to consult legal or compliance advisors before committing to a regulatory position.
