Purpose:
Content: The Cabinet had before it and NOTED a report * from the Head of People, Performance and Waste and the Corporate Performance and Improvement Manager on the Corporate Risk Register. The Head of People, Performance and Waste outlined the contents of the report with particular reference to the following: The corporate risks were presented on a risk matrix (heat map), Appendix 1. Information on each risk was presented in a standard template, Appendix 2. These risks had been determined by the Council’s Leadership Team in consultation with Corporate Managers and other council officers. Discussion took place regards to: CR2- Cyber Security given the high risk rate of 20, do we have any reassurance that the internal team was fully resourced to manage incident in partnership with the provider? CR19- Devolution, the risk rate was 20, how confident were the Council that Members, staff and residents were being kept informed of the democratic legitimacy of future proposals. Reason for Decision: Risk management was an integral part of the Council’s Corporate Governance arrangements and there was a statutory responsibility under the Account and Audit Regulations (2015) to put in place risk management arrangements. Note: *Report previously circulated.
