The Interim Section 151 Officer submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) which provided Audit Committee with an update to the Corporate Risk Register Quarter 1.

The following comments were made/issues raised:

·         Members asked about business continuity and the third park telephony issues experienced earlier this year which meant that residents were unable to use the service, have officers reviewed what went wrong and has this fed into this report?

·         Would the number of risks ever decrease or is this the number of risks that would be anticipated?

·         Members asked whether something could be done in regard to the risks relating to processing EHCP’s in a timely manner?

·         The Committee queried whether the risk profile in relation to the climate emergency was sufficiently high?

·         Is there a risk that some of the change programmes could be cut due to the need to make financial savings?

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
