A cornerstone of every strong compliance function is their risk assessment. The challenge is having something that is all encompassing but not requiring a small army to complete it; being easy to compare year on year but not so high level that no risks can ever be identified.
 
Not every business has the scale to buy in a system for their risk assessment or has the confidence that the environment being assessed is sufficiently stable to warrant hard coding.
 
In practice most, even large firms, run their risk assessment on Excel, its flexible, relatively cheap, and the vast majority of staff can use Excel.
