Agenda item

The Council’s External Auditor (KPMG) will submit a report on an analysis undertaken of the content of various Local Authority Corporate Risk Registers, highlighting the most frequent risks featured across those Registers and detailing the current position in relation to Barnsley.

A representative of the Council’s External Auditor (KPMG) submitted a report on an analysis undertaken of the content of various local authority corporate risk registers and detailing the current position in relation to Barnsley.  By providing comparative information, councils could consider in particular whether there are potential risks that may have been omitted from their own risk registers and whether potential risks were given sufficient priority.

A gap analysis of issues for Barnsley MBC arising from this was considered by the Committee at Minute 7 below.

RESOLVED that the External Audit Corporate Risk Register Analysis for 2015/16 be noted.
