LCRS
Local Council Risk System

The Local Council Risk System has been designed to allow Town or Parish Clerks to quickly identify and score their local risks. The system has been designed by internal auditors with the aid of several Town and Parish clerks.

Designed by practising professionals specifically to meet the needs of Local Councils and assist in the general administrative process, the system combines ease of use with effective solution. More than 390 general risks and over 1,100 controls, identified in service areas, that can readily be amended or supplemented to account for unique local risks, are built into the programme. A straightforward scoring and reporting system leads to an action plan that pinpoints both timescale and responsibility.

The continuing development of a unique risk database means that updates combining the latest risks and background issues will be available annually.

The system takes you through a simple 5 step scoring process.

Step 1 - Enter your town or parish council details.
Step 2 - Select the relevant areas that relate to your council.
Step 3 - Score your risk, add any additional local risks.
Step 4 - Record your action plan of your risk areas.
Step 5 - Run your risk reports.

The scoring system is a five step process starting with entering your council details followed by selecting and scoring your risks. LCRS allows you to add new risks and amend current risks to your local situation. Action plans can also be added and printed out.

The reports show that the risk assessment has been completed and any poorly controlled risks have been highlighted for action and can be allocated to individuals. Reports are automatically produced for auditors and councillors.
