Issue - meetings

The Committee received a report on the Risk Management Strategy and Framework. The report was introduced by the Principal Auditor.

Members had concerns over the reporting of the risk register and there seemed to be a gap on this being reported to scrutiny members and members of the executive.

In response to questions the Principal Auditor stated:

i.    Officers noted the concerns around this not going to the relevant scrutiny committee’s and would look into this.

ii.  Leadership team received quarterly updates on the risk register. It was then the responsibility of the leadership team to take the risk register to the Executive members.

iii. In terms of partnerships there were opportunities for stakeholders to feed back into the risk framework to make sure that these risks were captured. This had not been audited recently, however this could be within scope going forward.

RESOLVED (4 votes for, 0 against)

That the Committee noted and commented on the revised Risk Management Strategy & Framework (Appendix A), and agreed that Officers can continue to make subsequent minor updates and amendments.
