Dear

1. Re: Freedom of Information Act 2000

Thank you for your email of 4 August in which you requested from the Insolvency Service:

“Could you please provide me with a copy of your ‘Risk Register’.

For reference, this is usually a list of Risks that the leadership team review and appoint a specific person/role to be responsible for them. Here’s an example from a local council: http://www3.lancashire.gov.uk/council/meetings/displayFile.asp?FTYPE=A&FILEID=16993

Your request has been dealt with under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

I can confirm the agency holds the information that you have requested, and this information is available to you in the Risk Management section of our Annual report at the below link:

The Insolvency Service Annual Report and Accounts 2019-2020 - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

The annual report for 2020-2021 will be published in due course.

The Insolvency Service is not obliged to provide you with a separate copy of information it holds where that information is reasonably accessible to the applicant.

As such, the information you have requested is exempt from disclosure under section 21 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, and your request is refused.

If you are not satisfied with the response we have provided you and would like us to reconsider our decision by way of an internal review (IR), please contact our Information Rights Team at foi@insolvency.gov.uk or by post at:

You also have the right to contact the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) if you wish for them to investigate any complaint you may have regarding our handling of your request. However, please note that the ICO is likely to expect an IR to have been completed in the first instance.

Kind regards
