Corporate Risk Management - Quarterly Update PDF 142 KB Additional documents: Minutes: Chris Blundell, Director of Financial Services, introduced the report and made the following comments:
In response to questions from Members it was noted that:
· The high risk score for political stewardship was not solely because the Council was under no overall control. Mr Howes would be asked to provide Cllr Garner with a breakdown of how the political stewardship score was calculated after the meeting. · The East Kent Housing (EKH) risk score reflected the risk of transition and the number of unknowns associated with the service. Intensive work had taken place across the partnership to ensure the transition would be as smooth as possible. Following 1 October, the service would pose different types of risk for the Council. · The EKH board was now made up of the Chief Executives from each of the partnership Councils, it had become their duty to ensure that EKH did not fall into insolvency during the period of transition.
Councillor Crittenden proposed, Councillor Garner seconded and Members approved the review of corporate risks.
