Purpose of Report  \n1.1 The Audit Committee previously requested updates on the Council of the Future change programme.  \n2. Recommendation  \n2.1 The Audit Committee is asked to note the update on the Council of the Future change programme, and in particular, the further development of the risk register and a Risk Strategy to govern this.  \n3. Background  \n3.1 Following the approval of the Council of the Future change programme on 20 September 2017, considerable work has been undertaken to progress the actions agreed by Council. Since last reporting in November, the Council of the Future Board has met on two occasions to consider progress on projects, the engagement plan and the risk register for the programme (the March meeting of the Board is required to be re-scheduled due to the severe weather situation) .  \n4. Considerations  \n4.1 Progress on Council of the Future projects is currently on track. This is being monitored by the Council of the Future Board, who have received presentations on various projects. In addition, quarterly reports are submitted to the Executive.  \n4.2 The Council of the Future Board has updated the risk register to include a target risk level if all controls and mitigations are being managed appropriately. This is attached as appendix 1 for information.  \n4.3 In addition, the Board has agreed a Strategy to govern how risk will be managed. This includes a commitment to monitor the risk register by exception at each meeting of the Board. In addition, the risk register will be reviewed at 6 monthly intervals. The Strategy also provides clarity on how project lead officers should be monitoring risk and when they should escalate this and to whom. The Strategy is attached as appendix 2 for information.  \n4.4 All project lead officers will be considering the operational risks for their specific projects using the template included in the Strategy, and will continue to monitor these as part of their on going project management arrangements.  \n5. Consultation  \n5.1 No consultation was carried out in the preparation of this report.  \n6. Implications  \nFinancial  \n6.1 There are no specific financial implications arising as a result of this report.  \nResources  \n6.2 There are no specific resource implications arising as a result of this report.  \nLegal  \n6.3 There are no specific legal implications arising as a result of this report.  \nRisk  \n6.4 The risks associated with the Council of the Future programme of change are set out in the attached risk register.  \nEqualities  \n6.5 There are no specific equality implications arising as a result of this report.  \nSustainability/Environmental Impact  \n6.6 There are no specific environmental or sustainability implications arising as a result of this report.  \n7. Conclusions  \n7.1 The Council of the Future change programme is now being implemented following its approval by Council on 20 September 2017. The Council of the Future Board is monitoring progress on implementation and the risk register has now been agreed by the Board as attached as appendix 1.  \nDirector of Corporate & Housing Services  \nAuthor – Karen Algie , Head of Human Resources & Business Transformation, 01324 506223, [karen.algie@falkirk.gov.uk](karen.algie@falkirk.gov.uk)  \nDate: 26.3.18  \nAppendices  \nAppendix 1 – Council of the Future Risk Register  \nAppendix 2 – Council of the Future Risk and Opportunities Management Strategy  \nList of Background Papers:  \nThe following papers were relied on in the preparation of this report in terms of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973:  \nNone  \nAppendix 1  \nCOTF – Programme Risk Register  \n\n|  |  |  |  |  |  | Target risk after controls / mitigation |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Risk Statement |","cbCaikEqeYtB3dZi","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikEqeYtB3dZi","pdf",426960,"English","# Purpose of Report\n## Recommendation\n## Background\n## Considerations\n## Consultation\n## Implications\n### Financial\n### Resources\n### Legal\n### Risk\n### Equalities\n### Sustainability/Environmental Impact\n## Conclusions\n## Appendices\n## Appendix 1 – Council of the Future Risk Register\n## Appendix 2 – Council of the Future Risk and Opportunities Management Strategy","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this report to the Audit Committee?\",\"answer\":\"The Audit Committee is asked to note the update on the Council of the Future change programme, with particular attention to the further development of the risk register and a risk strategy to govern risk management.\"},{\"question\":\"What progress has been made since the programme was approved?\",\"answer\":\"After approval on 20 September 2017, work has progressed on agreed actions.
