The Audit Manager introduced the Annual Risk
Management report setting out the details of how risk management
processes were working across the Council. The purpose of the report was to provide the
Committee assurance that risk management was effective and risks
were being managed and monitored appropriately.
The report set out an overview of the Risk
Management process used by the Council, which was refreshed in
early 2019, with a revised risk management framework adopted by
Policy and Resources Committee in April 2019. The report also set out he Council’s risk
profile of its risk register. It was
highlighted that the overall number of risks had remained fairly
static although risk scores had changed. An updated risk table was circulated to the
Committee which included updated scores for project failure and
housing pressures, both now scored as 12.
The Audit Partnership was investigating
replacing its spreadsheet system with a risk management system in
order to improve reporting.
RESOLVED: That the Risk Management
Annual Report be noted.
