About Risk Register

Risk Register was developed in conjunction with the North East Key Risk Profiling Group, who agreed to make the software available to the wider membership of the Association of Local Authority Risk Managers - ALARM.

Risk Register is now available to any organisation looking for a cost-effective risk assessment and management tool.

The North East Key Risk Profiling Group was set up as a result of Heather Pearce (Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council) approaching Rob Rodgers (The St Paul Insurance) with the idea of carrying out some work on Risk Profiling. After some discussion it was decided to set up the group with the neighbouring Authorities. The aim of the group was to share information and workload for the production of the Risk Register.

Risk Register is industry standard PC software that retains information on operational and strategic risk assessments carried out in compliance with corporate governance requirements. It enables a systematic strategy, framework and process for managing risk, as set out in the CIPFA/SOLACE document ‘Corporate Governance in Local Government – a Keystone for Community Governance’.

Risk Register will demonstrate to District Audit (or any other external auditor) that an organisation has a risk management process in place which records and ranks significant risks within their organisation. The Corporate Performance Assessment programme, which is now underway, states that Authorities must have a risk register in place and make progress to populate this and review when necessary.
