(a)          Decision(s)

That the Corporate Risk Register be noted and continue to be regularly reviewed by Cabinet, with particular reference to the most significant risks identified and the mitigation actions being taken.

(b)          Reason(s) for Decision(s)

The report provided Cabinet with an opportunity to review progress and actions associated with the Risk Register which Cabinet considered to be an essential element in the continued successful delivery and funding of services.

(c)        Alternative Options Considered

None.

(d)       Relevant Scrutiny Committee

None. This is a matter which is reported regularly to the Audit Committee, which had previously recommended that Cabinet review risks at suitable intervals as part of its role in budget setting and monitoring. (As this is a matter within the remit of the Audit Committee, it is not subject to call-in).

(e)        Conflicts of Interest / Dispensation(s)

Councillor Mrs Ward, as a member of the Board of Aylesbury Vale Estates (AVE), declared a personal interest insofar as the Risk Register related to AVE operations.
