Purpose: To present Cabinet with the Council’s current corporate risk register. The Corporate Risk Register captures the high-level risks potentially impacting delivery of the council’s priorities. It is essential that the Council reviews and monitors its risks regularly and where necessary put in reasonable mitigations.

Content: The Cabinet considered a report of the Executive Director (Strategy and Change) presenting the revised Corporate Risk Register which set out the key risks to the successful delivery of the Council’s priorities and objectives and outlined the key management arrangements in place to mitigate and reduce the likelihood of the risks crystallising.   Resolved:   That the revised Corporate Risk Register and the position in April 2025, set out at Appendix 1 to the submitted report, be noted and that the actions being taken to manage the risks, be endorsed.   Reasons for decision:   The Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015 require that a relevant authority must ensure it has a sound system of internal control which facilitates the effective exercise of its function and the achievement of its aims and objectives, ensures that the financial and operational management of the authority is effective and includes effective arrangements for the management of risk.   Other options:   None.   Note: This is an Executive Function Not eligible for call-in Cabinet Member: Cllr Collins
