FOR DIS­CUS­SION

Title: STRA­TEGIC RISK REGISTER UPDATE

Pre­pared by: DAV­ID CAMER­ON, DIR­ECT­OR OF COR­POR­ATE SERVICES

Pur­pose

This paper presents an update on the Authority’s stra­tegic risk man­age­ment and a com­ment­ary on management’s review of action taken and cur­rent risk status.

Recom­mend­a­tions

The Audit & Risk Com­mit­tee is asked to:

a) Con­sider the update presen­ted on the Authority’s Stra­tegic Risk Register. b) Con­sider wheth­er mem­bers have any fur­ther updates which should be incor­por­ated into the Stra­tegic Risk Register, includ­ing any addi­tion­al risks not cur­rently incorporated.

Exec­ut­ive Summary

  1. The Authority’s Stra­tegic Risk Register cov­er­ing the deliv­ery of the 2018 to 2022 Cor­por­ate Plan was adop­ted by the Audit Com­mit­tee at its meet­ing in May 2018 and sub­sequently by the Board at its June 2018 meet­ing. As agreed by the Board, the Stra­tegic Risk Register is reg­u­larly reviewed by seni­or man­age­ment, to con­sider the appro­pri­ate­ness of the cov­er­age of the risk register and to con­sider action being taken to man­age and mit­ig­ate risk. The risk register was last con­sidered by man­age­ment in April 2019, and the res­ults of the review are set out at Annex I to this paper.

  2. The Annex spe­cifies seni­or man­agers respons­ible for the man­age­ment of each risk, togeth­er with a brief com­ment­ary on the man­age­ment actions being taken to mit­ig­ate the risk. An indic­a­tion is giv­en as to wheth­er the extent of the risk iden­ti­fied is assessed as escal­at­ing, broadly main­tain­ing its risk level, or declin­ing fol­low­ing action taken or wider envir­on­ment­al changes.

  3. The Com­mit­tee is invited to review the update on the man­age­ment of the Authority’s stra­tegic risks, and to con­sider wheth­er any fur­ther updates or com­ments require to be incor­por­ated at this stage.

  4. A num­ber of risks show down­ward trends over the last three reviews. Accord­ingly, it may now be appro­pri­ate to remove these risks from the register, par­tic­u­larly in light of the expand­ing num­ber of stra­tegic risks cur­rently cap­tured in the register. These risks are shaded in the Annex for Committee’s con­sid­er­a­tion of their removal.

  5. The Com­mit­tee is also invited to con­sider wheth­er there are any gaps in risk cov­er­age, in terms of any new stra­tegic risks poten­tially impact­ing on deliv­ery of our Cor­por­ate Plan objectives.
