Director of Financial Services
The Director of Financial Services is currently involved in reviewing Wandsworth Council's risk management strategies amid significant financial challenges.
In March 2026, Wandsworth Council's Audit Committee reviewed the authority's risk management and risk appetite, with the Director of Financial Services presenting the review. This discussion focused on the significant financial challenges anticipated due to reduced funding. An initial review concerning corporate risks with the Director's Board has been delivered, and a training plan for risk management is now in place.
A follow-up review of risk management is scheduled for summer 2026, following the March 2026 presentation. This ongoing work stems from a decision made by the Audit Committee in July 2025 to undertake a comprehensive review of risk management strategies, acknowledging increasing challenges faced by local government.
