Decision details

The Internal Audit Manager summarised the risks affecting the Council as outlined in the report and highlighted a number of issues, specifically Corporate Health and Safety, Information Governance, ICT Security, risk of failure in service delivery, the Code of Corporate Governance, Procurement, Housing, Safeguarding and Debt Recovery.

The Committee noted that two risks continued to be rated as red – the Code of Corporate Governance and Procurement – and requested more detailed updates on these issues for consideration at its next meeting.

The revised Register was considered to be an accurate reflection of the high level risks affecting the Authority and progress on actions was documented on the Register.

Resolved that:

1.    The contents of the Corporate Risk Register be noted and accepted;

2.    That the Corporate Risk Register be recommended to Cabinet for approval.
