The Executive approved the proposals now detailed.

RESOLVED - that (A) the comments of Performance, Audit and Governance Scrutiny Committee be received; and

The Executive Member for Finance and Support Services submitted a report updating Members on proposed changes to the Risk Management Strategy.  The proposed tracked changes were detailed in the report.

Members referred to Appendix 1 – Categories of risk (agenda page 205) and suggested that the wording under “Risk” within “Examples” should be amended to read “New political arrangements” and that all other wording should be deleted within this heading.  This was supported.

The Committee supported the proposed change and recommended the report as amended, to the Executive.

RESOLVED – that (A) the Executive be advised that the Committee supports the revised Risk Management Strategy, as now amended.
