The Director of Finance and Investment, S.151 Officer introduced her report that informed on how the Council was working to improve its arrangements for managing risk as part of a broader programme of enhancements to corporate governance. The report provided a progress update in relation to those actions and indicated others to be taken in the coming months. An earlier report to the Audit and Risk Management (ARM) Committee on 23 July 2018 (minute 8 refers) set out a number of actions aimed at supporting improvements. The Director of Finance and Investment informed that the report linked closely to earlier reports on the meeting agenda that provided an update on the work surrounding risk management and insurance that sought to support the Risk Management Framework and maintain successful management of the insurance programme.

In response to a question on training for Officers and Audit and Risk Management Committee Members, the Director of Finance and Investment informed of the potential for a training session in January 2019 to update Members on the content of the Corporate Risk Register.

Resolved – That the report be noted.
