Hounslow Council is focusing on strategic risks as part of its agile audit plan for the 2026/27 financial year.

Hounslow Council's Audit and Governance Committee approved an agile audit plan for the 2026/27 financial year in September 2026. This plan is designed to be responsive to emerging risks and organisational priorities, with strategic risks identified as a key area for audit coverage.

The audit plan also includes financial systems, contract management, housing, ICT, and adult social care among its high-impact review areas. No further council discussions or decisions regarding strategic risks are currently scheduled in the provided material.

Strategic risks are potential events or conditions that could significantly impact a council's ability to achieve its objectives. Councils assess these risks to ensure they can continue to deliver services and meet their goals.
