20 Risk Management Update PDF 218 KB
To receive an update in
respect of risk management issues.
Minutes:
The
committee received a report which provided an update on risk management in the
council and invited the committee to note the key risks identified in the
corporate risk register and the proposals to carry out more detailed risk
profiling to challenge service level risks.
In addition, the report set out the work currently underway to manage
the risks associated with the potential for a no-deal EU Exit. The report provided a summary of the risks
contained on the risk register and it was noted that further information could
be circulated to councillors following the meeting.
During
discussion, comments were raised as follows:
·
Some risk ratings may vary due to officer interpretation
·
In respect of risks around staffing issues and loss of corporate knowledge,
it was noted that further management information could be provided for top
level risks
·
In respect of the risk associated with the loss of ICT service or data
through a cyber attack, it was reported that although a significant amount of
controls were in place, the risk was identified as high as the potential
consequences were significant. This
issue was to be considered by the Resources Scrutiny Committee
·
A request was made for further information for those items identified at
the higher end of the risk register.
This would be included in the next report
·
Issues around fuel requirements were to be considered by a stand alone
Board
·
It was agreed that an item on the risks relating to staff recruitment
and retention would be included on the work programme for a future meeting.
The
report was noted.
