French term

damier des suspens

French to English Bus/Financial Finance (general) control mapping
In a spreadsheet showing control mapping for a large French bank, the following comes up, and I am thinking it refers to a checkerboard-style grid of outstanding amounts - can anyone help me get closer?

"Analyse statistiques des suspens et identification des zones de risques : damier des suspens, écoulement, niveau de couverture des risques"

Thanks in advance!

risk grid

I think this is just called a risk grid in English. I'll try to find some thing to cite to back that up.

I think this link kind of explains it:

The suspens refers to risk that is still out there, unresolved.

If you google "risk grid", I think you will get an idea if it fits the context.

current risks table

Taking 'damier' as board in game played on a table and 'suspens' as pending like someone has already said, I'd say that "Current Risks Table" should do the trick.
