CfGS said the report would also help these committee members:

• understand the specific roles of the audit committee, and of scrutiny committees, in challenge and support relating to risk management; and
• develop a blueprint for the collaboration between audit and scrutiny functions, “to ensure a seamless and consistent approach to member oversight in this area”.

The report, Audit, Scrutiny and Risk, covers:

1. What is risk?
2. The respective roles of audit and scrutiny.
3. A practical model for joint working.
4. Questions for members to ask that relate to specific areas of risk management.
