Appendix Three – Transition Risk Management Plan

To date, RDS risk management has been managed by the RDS project team. As RDS approaches live operations, the management of risk will be handed over to the RDS staff and board. To this end, a stand-alone risk management framework has been developed that sets out the methodology used by the RDS project team. The risk management framework and risk register will be annexed to the FBC and handed over to RDS staff. The RDS board will then be able to review and change the risk management framework to meet its risk appetite.

The RDS transition risk register is shown overleaf and highlights the risks and issues that the project team will be managing up to RDS becoming operational.
