• An explanation of the framework underpinning the council’s annual governance statement;

• The council’s approach to risk and the associated strategies

• An insight into some of the key risks highlighted in the Strategic Risk Register and how the council’s assurance framework contributes to reducing them

• The committee’s key role in counter-fraud and latest developments in this area

• The key importance of the audit committee in providing oversight of the council’s framework of internal assurance, including information on best practice.
