Decisions for issue Corporate Risk Assurance Framework (CRAF)

That the Audit & Standards Committee:

1)           Note the CRAF at Appendix 1.

2)           Agree for a working group of the Committee to carry out a “deep dive” to review the CRAF to:

·         enable members to consider whether the council has sufficient assurance over its governance arrangements and risks

·         inform the Annual Governance Statement (AGS) and the Internal Audit plan for 2017/18.

3)            Note that the CRAF will replace the Risk Management Strategy as outlined in paragraphs 6.2 to 6.4.
