Kaiwhakamana | Authoriser: Kris Pervan, Group Manager Strategy & Growth

Te pūtake | Purpose

1 This paper shares an update on the Emergency Management Recovery Programme for the Kāpiti District. We are joined by our Group Recovery Management Team from Wellington Regional Emergency Management Office (WREMO).

Taunakitanga | RECOMMENDATIONS

That the Risk and Assurance Committee:

A. Note that Kāpiti Coast District and the wider Wellington Region is vulnerable to a number of significant natural hazards and that pre-planning for Recovery is an increasing priority.

B. Note the focus for the Kāpiti District Recovery Programme, which forms part of the wider Emergency Management requirements, and progress to date.

C. Note that the Recovery Programme Team will come back to this Committee with an update on Phase 1 activity, as noted in attachment 1, in early 2025.

Tūāpapa | Background

2 The Civil Defence Emergency Management Act 2002 sets out the legislative mandate for Recovery, as part of the Emergency Management framework and requirements. It outlines expectations around roles and responsibilities of Group and Local Recovery Managers, including their authority and accountability during both local and national transition periods. It also outlines the procedures and authority for managing transition periods after emergencies, focusing on the criteria for declaring, extending, and terminating these periods.

3 Recovery involves phases of pre-event planning, and actions kick in from the moment that an event triggers an emergency management response. Whilst Emergency Management Response can be in place for weeks, Recovery is a longer haul need that in cases of a major event is likely to last for years.

4 Successful community recovery can be defined as the “re-establishment of infrastructure, public services, economy, environment, social and cultural connections, and a general sense of restored stability”. Collectively it is the establishment of a ‘new normal’, hopefully more liveable than before and better able to withstand the next emergency event.

5 Key work of the Recovery function is in the Emergency Operations Centre (EOC), as a lead desk, and development of a Recovery Plan. There is a transition period between Response and Recovery, and short period where mandate for ‘orders’ remains in place for the Recovery function. After this, it’s all about influence and collaboration. In practical terms, we will work with the community, business, NGOs and central government to support our community to ‘stand back up’ in the event of a significant impact to daily activity.

6 Council has the local responsibility to coordinate recovery planning and programme delivery pre and post event.

7 Although the Council’s Recovery Programme is in early development, foundational steps have been progressed through 2023/24 including:

7.1 Reviewing our existing Recovery Plan, to incorporate broader scenarios than COVID-19.

7.2 Clarifying our role in Recovery with WREMO, and agreement by our Chief Executive to stand up a ‘virtual Recovery programme office’ and to appoint dedicated staff to progress Recovery work.

7.3 Engagement in “Masterclasses” in Disaster Recovery with lead NGOs.

7.4 Training and courses via WREMO and NEMA, and learning about what works from previous disasters such as Cyclone Gabrielle. Engaged with Wellington Region Councils, and meeting regularly to plan together.

7.5 Involvement in 2x emergency management exercises; and the first Council to have dedicated recovery staff attend exercises in 2023.

7.6 Establishing documentation and process to incorporate a recovery focus into Emergency Management process with WREMO.

7.7 Briefing with Councillors on Recovery - ‘cards of calamity’ to better understand a community perspective of what’s important for Recovery

7.8 Appointment of two additional staff to progress Recovery work. Regular engagement between Controller/s, Recovery Manager, and Emergency Management Advisor.

7.9 Initial discussions with community leaders, government, and key groups (incl Chamber of Commerce).

He take | issues

8 The Kāpiti Coast District and the wider Wellington Region is vulnerable to a number of significant natural hazards. Some of these hazards have the potential to be of such a scale and severity that they present an existential threat to our district and region’s ongoing viability in its present form.

9 There is a 75% chance of an Alpine Fault Earthquake of magnitude 8+ happening any time in the next 50 years. It is not a matter of if, but when.

10 The scale and severity of impacts and compounding consequences will be beyond the capacity of any one single agency, organisation or community group to resolve.

11 Collaborative planning for recovery needs to start now to reduce the risks and ensure recovery activities are well coordinated, timely, effective, make the best use of money and resources, and ultimately meet the needs of our affected communities so they can recover quickly.

12 Everyone will experience a disaster differently. However, common patterns tend to emerge. Understanding this is vital to anticipating and responding to the challenges faced by community and those working in disaster recovery. A focus on driving a community-led and community-owned approach will be critical to success.

13 Lessons learnt from other recent disasters and events, indicates that we need to be more proactively pre-planning for future events now. In response to this, we are developing a community-led programme of work to ensure we will be appropriately prepared to act, when required.

Ngā kōwhiringa | Options

14 There are no options proposed. However, the WREMO and Kāpiti Coast District Council are working together on a new approach for Recovery, which addresses lessons learnt from previous events.

15 The new approach will be piloted and implemented in the Kāpiti Coast first, and then utilised across the region. Further details are outlined in the presentation attached which we will discuss at today’s meeting with our WREMO partners.

ngā Mahi panuku | next steps

16 As outlined on page 21 of the attachment, Phase 1 work will progress through to January 2025 focused on four key areas including:

16.1 Council and Community

16.2 Systems

16.3 Partnerships

16.4 Plans and Procedures.

17 We will be working with Elected Members and the community on this work, including proposed governance structures and the establishment and embedding of the Virtual Programme Office within Council, and will update the Committee on progress in early 2025.

He whakarāpopoto | Executive summary

2 There is no requirement for an Executive Summary.

Te tuku haepapa | Delegation

3 The Risk and Assurance Committee has delegated authority to consider this report under section C.3 of the Governance Structure and Delegations.

· Reviewing and maintaining the internal control framework.

· Obtaining from external auditors any information relevant to the Council’s financial statements and assessing whether appropriate action has been taken by management in response to the above.

Taunakitanga | RECOMMENDATIONS

A.1 That the Risk and Assurance Committee notes the progress made to resolve the Control Findings from Ernst & Young for the year ended 30 June 2023 to be re-assessed as part of their audit for the year ended 30 June 2024.

Tūāpapa | Background

4 In accordance with NZ Auditing Standards, Ernst & Young (EY) reviewed the design and operating effectiveness of the Council’s significant financial reporting processes as part of their audit for the year ended 30 June 2023. That review is part of EY’s annual Audit Plan, as considered by this Committee, and reflects the areas of focus set by the Office of the Auditor General.

5 The EY Report on Control Findings highlights weaknesses in our first line of defences (controls). Those findings are given a risk ranking from the three options below.

Ernst & Young – Risk Ranking System
High	Matters and/or issues considered to be fundamental to the mitigation of material risk, maintenance of internal control or good corporate governance. Action should be taken either immediately or within three months.
Moderate	Matters and/or issues considered to be of major importance to maintenance of internal control, good corporate governance, or best practice for processes. Action should normally be taken within six months.
Low	A weakness which does not seriously detract from the internal control framework. If required, action should be taken within 6 -12 months.

He kōrerorero | Discussion

6 There are currently three open control findings from the last two external audits by EY. These will be considered for ‘closing’ by EY during their audit of the 2023/24 financial year.

Control Findings open at 30 June 2023 by risk ranking	Risk Ranking			Total
	High	Moderate	Low
	----	1	2	3

Update the process for recording requests for service to correct this weakness. Action update: The issue of inaccurate response and resolution times in service requests relates to user difficulties with our 30 year old MagiQ software system. Note, when Datascape replaces MagiQ next calendar year we expect these inadvertent errors will not reoccur. Until then the inadequacies of and difficulties using MagiQ means the potential for inaccurate response and resolution times remains. EY are aware of the cause and the improvement Datascape will bring. Meantime, to manage the control weakness - the supporting guidance documentation has been updated, associated training provided and staff carry out a manual quality check of service request data.

9.4 Top 10 Organisational Risk Report

Kaituhi | Author: Nienke Itjeshorst, Lead Risk and Assurance Advisor

Kaiwhakamana | Authoriser: Mark de Haast, Group Manager Corporate Services

Te pūtake | Purpose

1 This report updates the Risk and Assurance Committee on the Top 10 Organisational Risks currently facing the organisation.

He whakarāpopoto | Executive summary

2 This report does not require an Executive Summary.

Te tuku haepapa | Delegation

3 The Risk and Assurance Committee has delegated authority to consider this report under section C.3 of the Governance Structure and Delegations.

· Ensuring that Council has in place a current and comprehensive risk management framework and making recommendations to the Council on risk mitigation.

Taunakitanga | RECOMMENDATIONS

A. That the Risk and Assurance Committee receives and notes this report, including Appendix 1 to this report.

Tūāpapa | Background

4 The Top 10 Organisational Risks are aimed at setting a clear direction for staff as to what the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) have identified as the highest areas of potential risk for the organisation to being able to successfully achieve its objectives.

5 “Risk” for the management of the council organisation is defined as:

5.1 the impact of uncertain events that can happen in the future on the planned objectives that SLT wants the organisation to deliver and/or achieve (short, medium and long term), and

5.2 includes strategic, reputational, regulatory, legal, security, change and operational risks.

6 The current Top 10 Organisational Risks are managed in a risk register in our Enterprise Risk Management software: Camms Risk. It is important to note that these risk listings are:

6.1 not ranked in order of severity

6.2 capped at 10, to provide a clear focus for SLT and this Committee,

6.3 not ‘set in stone,” an emerging organisational risk can be brought forward to replace an existing risk when required and/or relevant.

7 Engagement on the organisational risk profile is through on-going conversations with SLT and activity managers about these risks, the controls to prevent or mitigate these risks and status of risk treatments that are underway to implement the controls to achieve the target risk level. These conversations ensure each risk is regularly reviewed providing assurance that the treatments are being conducted to further mitigate the risk.

8 The next table identifies the current Top 10 Organisational Risks.

Risk No.	Risk Title
ORG 1	Loss of life, serious injury or illness due to insufficient Health, Safety and Wellbeing management.
ORG 2	Failure to adequately maintain social licence.
ORG 3	Failure to give effect to Te Tiriti o Waitangi
ORG 4	Inadequate mitigation and adaptation responses to known and future climate change challenges.
ORG 5	Failure to achieve legislative obligations.
ORG 6	Inadequate management of the impacts of central government reform/change.
ORG 7	Inadequate safeguards against digital technology risks.
ORG 8	Failure to prudently manage Council’s financial stability including fraudulent activity.
ORG 9	Failure to maintain business continuity for essential services and inadequate planning and preparedness for emergencies.
ORG 10	Inability to attract and retain sufficient capacity to deliver Council’s objectives.

9 A list of AS/NZ/ISO 3100:2018 Standard: Risk Management – Guidelines definitions is included in the Heatmap Report on the last page.

He kōrerorero | Discussion

10 This report provides an update of the current Top Organisational Risks. The associated Risk Heatmap Report (Appendix 1 to this report), details how the organisation is treating and mitigating these risks, with progress updates against each of the individual risk treatments.

Changes to Top Organisational Risks

11 A workshop with SLT was held in July 2024 to consider ‘refreshing’ the Top 10 Organisational Risk that was set in May 2023. This was done by looking back at the challenges faced by the organisation in the past year, considering external/internal changes impacting the organisation and looking at Council’s Strategic Outcomes and targeted actions of the Long Term Plan 2024-34.

12 SLT discussed whether any new risks should be identified, or that new controls and treatments should be identified to mitigate existing and/or increasing risks.

13 Some new controls and treatments have been added as a result. For example, a control and risk treatment were added to the ORG 2 Risk to reflect that development of a Client Relationship Management System is underway, mitigating this risk.

14 Updates and minor amendments have been made following meetings with individual SLT members and other control and treatment owners.

15 All the changes have been highlighted in blue font in the Risk Heatmap Report.

9.5 Internal Audit Work Programme - Update

Kaituhi | Author: Sharon Foss, Manager Risk and Assurance

Kaiwhakamana | Authoriser: Mark de Haast, Group Manager Corporate Services

Te pūtake | Purpose

1 This report provides the Risk and Assurance Committee with a progress report on the 2024 Internal Audit work programme.

He whakarāpopoto | Executive summary

2 This report does not require an Executive Summary.

Te tuku haepapa | Delegation

3 The Committee has delegated authority to consider this report under section C.3 of the Governance Structure and Delegations.

· Ensuring that the Council has in place a current and comprehensive risk management framework and making recommendations to the Council on risk mitigation.

Taunakitanga | RECOMMENDATIONS

A. That the Risk and Assurance Committee receives and notes the progress update on the 2024 Internal Audit work programme.

Tūāpapa | Background

4 Internal audit is line three of the ‘Four Lines of Defence’ model used in the Risk and Assurance workstream.

5 Each of the above four sources of assurance contribute to the overall level of assurance provided and the classification into four categories demonstrates how they are integrated into Council business.

First line: Risks are managed and controlled day-to-day. Assurance comes directly from those responsible for delivering specific objectives or processes.

Second line: The Council oversees the control framework so that it operates effectively.

Third line: Internal audit, providing reasonable (not absolute) assurance of the overall effectiveness of governance, risk management and controls.

Fourth line: Assurance from external independent bodies such as the external auditors and other external bodies.

Third Line of Defence (Internal Audit)

6 In accordance with both the NZ Auditing Standards and our external auditors, EY, the internal audits have been given a risk ranking from the three options below.

Internal Audit - Risk Ranking System
High	Matters and/or issues considered to be fundamental to the mitigation of material risk, maintenance of internal control or good corporate governance.
Moderate	Matters and/or issues considered to be of major importance to maintenance of internal control, good corporate governance, or best practice for processes.
Low	A weakness which does not seriously detract from the internal control framework.

7 Validation of audit findings and recommendations is an important part of the internal audit approach. As previously advised this practice assures full discussion, consideration and management acceptance of observations/recommendations and report content through to final authorisation of the report.

8 The 2024 internal audit work programme approved by this Committee in February 2024 was set until 30 June 2024. This allowed for the carryover of audits from 2023 and aligned the audit scheduling with the adoption of the Long-Term Plan 2024-34.

He kōrerorero | Discussion

9 The following table updates this Committee on progress made on the internal audit work programme. The status categories include a new category titled “Finalised” to better reflect a draft audit report proceeding through the validation process.

Progress Status Categories

Planned	Ongoing	In Progress	Finalised	Completed

Risk	Activity	Status: 26 July 2024
High	Compliance with Mitigation of Fraud Policy.		Completed
High	Compliance with Procurement Policy Framework.		Completed
High	Compliance with Employee Code of Conduct document.		Finalised

3 The Risk and Assurance Committee (Committee) has the delegation to consider this matter under the section of Part C.3 of the Governance Structure and Delegations 2022-2025 Triennium which states: “This committee is responsible for monitoring the Council’s financial management, financial reporting mechanisms and framework, and risk and assurance function, ensuring the existence of sound internal systems.”

TAUNAKITANGA | RECOMMENDATIONS

A. That the Risk and Assurance Committee:

A.1 Receives and notes this report.

A.2 Notes the Council’s non-compliance with its old Policy in three areas:

i. Debt maturities (6% in 5-10 year bucket vs policy minimum 10%)

ii. Fixed/Floating Risk Control limit (54% hedged vs policy minimum 55%)

iii. Hedging Instrument maturities (14% in 5-10 year bucket vs policy minimum 15%)

(these non-compliant areas have been further discussed in this report).

A.3 Notes the Council has fully complied with all other requirements of the old Policy for the three months ended 30 June 2024.

TŪĀPAPA | BACKGROUND

4 The Policy sets out a framework for the Council to manage its borrowing and investment activities in accordance with the Council’s objectives and incorporates legislative requirements.

5 The Policy mandates regular treasury reporting to management, the Strategy, Operations and Finance Committee, as well as quarterly compliance reporting to the Risk and Assurance Committee.

6 To assess the effectiveness of the Council’s treasury management activities and compliance with the Policy, certain performance measures and parameters have been prescribed. These are:

· cash/debt position;

· liquidity/funding control limits;

· interest rate risk control limits;

· counterparty credit risk;

· specific borrowing limits; and

· risk management performance.

HE KŌRERORERO | DISCUSSION

Cash/Debt Position

7 Table 1 below shows the Council’s net debt position as at 30 June 2024 against the 2023/24 full year budget and the prior year closing balance.

8 During the past three months, the Council has issued $35 million of new debt. This was used to pre-fund the April 2025 debt maturity ($10 million), and 2023/2024 capex programme costs ($25 million).

9 The table below shows (a) the movement in the Council’s external debt balance, (b) the movement in the Council’s pre-funding programme by debt maturity and (c), that part of the Council’s Capex programme funded by new borrowings for the twelve months ended 30 June 2024.

10 As at 30 June 2024 the Council had $75.4 million of cash, borrower notes and term deposits on hand. This is broken down as follows:

11 For the three months ended 30 June 2024, the Council has not breached its net debt upper limit, as shown in the chart below.

A graph of a financial report

Description automatically generated with medium confidence

12 The Council targeted through its LTP 2021-41 financial strategy to keep net borrowings below 280% of total operating income with a preferred limit of 250%. As at 30 June 2024, the Council’s net borrowings are 205.7% of actual 2024 total operating income.

Liquidity/Funding control limits

13 Liquidity and funding management focuses on reducing the concentration of risk at any point so that the overall borrowings cost is not increased unnecessarily and/or the desired maturity profile is not compromised due to market conditions. This risk is managed by spreading and smoothing debt maturities and establishing maturity compliance buckets.

14 Since October 2015 the Council’s treasury strategy has included a debt pre-funding programme. The Policy allows pre-funding of the Council debt maturities and Capex programme up to 18 months in advance, including re-financing.

15 The following chart presents the Council’s debt maturity dates in relation to the financial year in which the debt was issued. This demonstrates that since 2016/17, the Council has actively reduced risk concentration by spreading debt maturity dates and debt maturity values.

A graph of a chart with different colored squares

Description automatically generated with medium confidence

16 Debt maturities must fall within maturity compliance buckets. These maturity buckets are as follows:

Maturity Period	Minimum	Maximum
0 to 3 years	10%	70%
3 to 5 years	10%	60%
5 to 10 years	10%	50%
10 years plus	0%	20%

17 For the three months ended 30 June 2024, the Council has breached its debt maturity limits in the 5-10 year maturity bucket, with council having 6% of debt in this maturity bracket while the Policy requires a lower limit of 10%.

18 This is shown in the following chart. The limits, as shown by dashed lines, relate to the bars of the same colour. For example, the 0 to 3 years upper limit of 70% is in blue. Actual maturities in the 03-year bucket are represented by the blue bars. The Council has no long-term debt maturing in ten years’ time or beyond.

19 It should be noted that longer maturity dates carry a higher lending margin so are more expensive, and this is the reason council has been reluctant to take longer date debt.

20 The new Treasury policy applying from 1 July 2024 has a less prescriptive approach to the spread of maturities instead requiring that no more than 40% of debt shall mature in any rolling 12 month period. This amendment alleviates the need to micromanage exposures to comply with policy while in reality adding additional cost and complexity to the risk management process.

Interest rate risk control limits

21 The Council seeks advice from Bancorp, its independent treasury advisor for all debt issuances. Typically, Council issues debt on a floating rate basis and applies its fixed interest rate swaps (hedges) to minimise its exposure at any one time to interest rate fluctuations. This ensures more certainty of interest rate costs when setting our Annual Plan and Long-Term Plan budgets.

22 Without such hedging, the Council would have difficulty absorbing adverse interest rate movements. A 1% increase in interest rates on $320 million of external debt would equate to additional interest expense of $3.20 million per annum. Conversely, fixing interest rates does however reduce the Council’s ability to benefit from falling and/or more favourable interest rate movements.

23 The objectives of any treasury strategy are therefore to smooth out the effects of interest rate movements, while being aware of the direction of the market, and to be able to respond accordingly.

24 The Policy sets out the following interest rate limits:

Major control limit where the total notional amount of all interest rate risk management instruments (i.e. interest rate swaps) must not exceed the Council’s total actual debt; and

Fixed/Floating Risk Control limit, that specifies that at least 55% of the Council’s borrowings must be fixed, up to a maximum of 100%.

25 For the three months ended 30 June 2024, the Council has breached its fixed/floating risk control limits, in that total hedging fell slightly below the policy limit of 55%. This is shown in the table below.

26 It is noted that in the recent high interest rate environment the Council has intentionally held off entering into new swap contracts, resulting in this policy breach.

27 Looking forward, Council will not immediately be in compliance with the new policy parameters but the intention is to become compliant over the September quarter. The effect of not taking out additional hedging over the last few months is expected to be of material benefit to Council as interest rates have fallen significantly since early June, the 2 year swap (for example) down by 0.80% to 4.40%, the 5 year swap down 0.78% to 3.96% and the 10 year swap by 0.75% to 4.12%. Since the peak of interest rates in October 2023 the falls have been much greater, the 2 year swap is down by 1.49%, the 5 year by 1.45% and the 10 year by 1.25%. Council will look to lock in lower swap rates progressively as market conditions dictate.

28 Like debt maturities, hedging instrument maturities must also fall within maturity compliance buckets. These maturity compliance buckets are as follows:

Period	Minimum	Maximum
1 to 3 years	15%	60%
3 to 5 years	15%	60%
5 to 10 years	15%	60%
10 years plus	0%	20%

29 As shown by the following chart. The Council breached its hedging maturity compliance buckets in June 2024, with 14% in the 5-10 year maturity bucket against the policy lower limit of 15%. The new Policy adopts different maturity buckets against which Council will be fully compliant from 1 July 2024. Note that maturities falling within 1 year are not included. The Council has no hedging instrument maturities in ten years’ time or beyond.

30 As noted in paragraph 26 and 27 above, the Council has held off entering into new swap contracts in the recent high interest rate environment but expects to recommence shortly.

Counterparty Credit Risk

31 The policy sets maximum limits on transactions with counterparties. The purpose of this is to ensure the Council does not over-concentrate its investments or risk management instruments with a single party.

32 The policy sets the gross counterparty limits as follows:

Counterparty/Issuer	Minimum Standard and Poor’s long term	Investments maximum per counterparty	Risk management instruments maximum per counterparty	Borrowing maximum per counterparty
NZ Government	N/A	Unlimited	None	Unlimited
LGFA	AA-/A-1	$20m	None	Unlimited
NZ Registered Bank	A+/A-1	60% of total investments or $25m; whichever is greater	50% of total instruments or $80m; whichever is greater	$50m

33 The Council was in full compliance with all counterparty credit limits for the three months ended 30 June 2024. The tables below show the Council’s investments and risk management instruments holdings per counterparty for this period.

Term deposit & Cash investments

*Policy Limit: 60% of total investments or $25 million; whichever is greater

Interest rate swaps

*Policy Limit: 50% of total instruments or $80 million; whichever is greater

Specific Borrowing Limits

34 In managing debt, the Council is required to adhere to the specific borrowing limits.

35 The Council fully complied with these limits for the three months ended 30 June 2024 and the results are shown below:

Risk Management Performance

4 Local government is governed by a complex statutory framework with the Council responsible for a range of legislative requirements. Legislative compliance is important to the Council carrying out its functions under the Local Government Act 2002 in a fair and effective manner that is accountable to the local community. Failure to achieve Council’s legislative obligations has also been identified as one of the Council’s top 10 risks.

5 Each quarter key Council staff responsible for the Council’s compliance with legal obligations under different Acts are asked to complete a quarterly declaration of known non-compliance with legislative requirements and key assurance areas being privacy, procurement, authorised expenditure, cyber security and Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 (LGOIMA) requirements.

6 Council staff are asked to report against all applicable legislation. A legislative compliance schedule exists to assist staff in completing this declaration, set out in Attachment 2 to this report. The Council’s external auditors have identified the following legislation and regulations where non-compliance could have a fundamental effect on operations:

· Local Government Act 2002

· Local Authorities (Members’ Interests) Act 1968
