Risk Register
Councils are currently reviewing and approving risk registers for their pension funds, identifying potential risks and mitigation strategies.
The Tower Hamlets Pensions Committee is preparing to approve a quality-assured risk register in October 2026, following a review of a draft in July 2026 that identified 32 current risks across six categories. Paul Audu, Head of Pensions and Treasury, presented the draft to the committee.
Discussions on risk registers have also occurred at other councils. The Harrow Pension Fund Committee discussed its risk register in June 2026, and Sutton Council's Pension Committee reviewed governance and risk in June 2026. Sutton Council's Audit and Governance Committee also reviewed the council's risk register and mitigation strategies in October 2025.
A risk register is a document that identifies potential risks, their likelihood, impact, and mitigation strategies. The Tower Hamlets Pensions Committee is scheduled to approve its quality-assured risk register at its next meeting on 1 October 2026.
