Minutes:

The Chairman welcomed Ms. G. Tanfield, Internal Audit Shared Service Manager to the meeting.  Ms. G. Tanfield gave an update on progress of the development of the Internal Audit Shared Service and introduced her colleague, Mr. A. Bromage, Audit Manager, Worcestershire Internal Audit Shared Service, who would be managing the Internal Audit Team at Bromsgrove District Council.  Mr. Bromage then presented the Risk Management Tracker report for the period 1st April 2010 to 30th September 2010, Quarter 2.

 

Members considered a report which presented an overview of the current progress in relation to Actions/Improvements (actions) as detailed in the service area risk registers for the period 1st April 2010 to 30th September 2010.  Members were asked to note that Regulatory Services were currently not included within the risk management process to allow for the shared service to be fully embedded and that, with the agreement of the Executive Director Finance and Corporate Resources, the Corporate Risk register would not be presented to the meeting due to it still being developed by officers.

 

Mr. Bromage informed Members that for those risk registers where an update had not been provided, Internal Audit had been unable to verify the progress towards the completion of actions.  The Executive Director Finance and Corporate Resources informed Members that she would be raising this with the Corporate Management Team

 

Mr. Bromage informed Members there were a total of 39 actions that had been allocated a behind target position rating.  Review had verified that these actions were in relation to ongoing projects to ensure improvements were being achieved rather than fundamental problems with processes.  The Executive Director Finance and Corporate Resources informed Members that the Risk Management Steering Group met monthly to review departmental registers and to highlight any concerns with the Head of Service. 

 

RESOLVED that the progress to date against all service area risk register actions for 1st April 2010 to 30th September 2010, Quarter 2, be noted.
