Executive Summary 

The Management Team regularly reviews the Authority’s Strategic Risk Register. The

STRATEGIC RISK REGISTER – FOR INFORMATION 

Background 

1. 
At its meeting in March 2006, the Committee noted the establishment of the 
Authority’s Strategic Risk Register and that the register would be considered regularly 
as part of the Management Team’s quarterly operational plan review process. 

2. 
This regular review process is ongoing and the updated Strategic Risk Register is 
presented in Annex 1 to this paper for information. 


Risk Register Update 

3. 
The Management Team have now updated the risk register to take account of the 
current status of delivery against operational and corporate plan objectives. Text 
highlighted in italics in the Annex to this paper shows the additions made in July 2006. 

4. 
In particular, one new risk has been added to the register. This reflects the need to be 
aware of the impact of the roll-out of the Park Brand across a range of the Authority’s 
activities, and to ensure that this process is integrated at a strategic level. 

5. 
A number of actions in managing existing risks have also been updated, as indicated 
in the Annex. 


Future Action 

6. 
The Risk Register will continue to be reviewed by the Management Team and updates 
brought to the Audit Committee.
