To consider a report of the Audit and Assurance Manager.

The Audit and Assurance Manager introduced a report which provided an update on the strategic risk environment, setting out developments relating to the management of each of the Council’s strategic risks. An introduction was noted to the changes in designation and classification of the identified risks, including that Risk 8 (incorrectly referenced as 9 in paragraph 2.4) had been expanded to cover the economic impact of Covid-19 as well as Brexit. Questions from Members were noted; and it was agreed that an update would be provided outside the meeting, in relation to Risk 4 (data security) on ongoing ICT issues affecting a key delivery partner of the Council.

          RESOLVED – That the content of the report be noted.
