Path to Green

For the project to return to green:

  • Clarity from Core Programme on impact of delay to Treasury & Cash Management and Investment PDDs

  • Replan of project with new assumed start date for Treasury Manager

New/changed risks and issues for information

  • With the Project Manager reassigned to another FTP project, a number of planned activities will not take place. The risks associated with delaying these activities are detailed in the risk log. The main risk is resource availability for the Core workshops on Treasury & Cash Management and Investments which are expected to start in January 2020.
  • Recruitment for Treasury Manager role was unsuccessful. Another recruitment exercise has started, but it is not expected to be completed until end January 2020
