Strategic Report September 20
Haringey CCG Register Introduction The Strategic Report (historically known as the Board Assurance Framework) evidences Haringey Clinical Commissioning Group s control over the delivery of its strategic objectives listed above. This report directly underpins the Annual Governance Statement (AGS) and is the subject of annual enquiry by Internal and External Audit. Function of the Strategic Report This report is a tool for the Governing Body corporately to assure itself (gain confidence, based on evidence) about successful delivery of the organisation s strategic objectives. The framework is designed to focus the Governing Body on controlling principal risks threatening the delivery of those objectives. It aligns principal risks, key controls and assurances on controls alongside each objective. Oversight of the management of individual risks is assigned to relevant Governing Body Committees. Where gaps are identified and key controls and assurances are insufficient to reduce the risk of non-delivery of objectives, action plans will be created where appropriate and overseen by the responsible committee. The Senior Management Team and the Audit Committee routinely review all risk on the Register, whereas the Governing Body receives a more high-level Strategic Report, containing risks rated and above. The purpose of the Strategic Report may be summarised as: To provide: a comprehensive method for the effective and focused management of the principal risks to achieving strategic objectives; and a basis for the preparation of a fair and representative Annual Governance Statement. Governing Body responsibility for the Strategic Report It is the responsibility of the Governing Body as the corporate head of the CCG to: Establish strategic objectives. Identify the principal risks that threaten the achievement of these objectives. Identify and evaluate the design of key controls intended to manage these principal risks. Set out the arrangement for obtaining assurance on the effectiveness of key controls across all areas of principal risk Evaluate the assurance across all areas of principal risk. Identify positive assurances and areas where there are gaps in controls and / or assurances Ensure that plans are put in place to take corrective action where gaps have been identified in relation to principal risks and receive assurance Maintain dynamic risk management arrangements including, crucially, a well-founded risk register. Open risks and recently closed risks are set out in pages 5-11. 2.9.
