Mrs
Alison Blake, Audit Manager, presented the Annual Risk Management
Report to the Committee. Mrs Blake
explained that:
·The purpose of the Annual Risk Management Report was
to provide Members with assurance on the Council’s risk
management arrangements. The report
outlined the Council’s risk management process (covering both
corporate level risks and operational risks); the risk profile of
the Council and how it had changed over the year; and the
Council’s corporate risks and how they had changed over the
year with actions being taken to reduce risks and capture emerging
risks that had a corporate impact.
·The role of the Audit, Governance and Standards
Committee was to assure itself that the risk management processes
were working effectively. The detail of
individual risks was reviewed by the Policy and Resources Committee
every six months, but if the Audit, Governance and Standards
Committee identified risks that they needed assurance on they could
request details of how they were being managed.
RESOLVED:
That the Annual Risk Management Report be noted.
