The Council's Services --- It's A Risky Business!

Risk management is a process whereby local authorities methodically assess the risks associated with what they do and the services that they provide.

The focus of good risk management is to identify what can go wrong and take the necessary steps to avoid this or successfully manage the consequences.

Every year, the Town Council needs to undertake a risk assessment in accordance with the Accounts and Audit (Amendment)(England) Regulations 2006.

This risk assessment was formally completed last week by the Town Council at its meeting on Thursday 20 March 2014. The documentation will be sent to the Town Council's Government-appointed external auditors later in the year.
