Amy Ray

I am an Audit and Risk professional with over 16 years of experience in various roles within local government services, particularly at Blackpool Council. My journey began as a Fraud Investigation Support Officer, where I honed my skills in data analysis and compliance. Over the years, I transitioned into roles that allowed me to lead internal audits and manage risk assessments, ultimately becoming the Risk and Resilience Officer. My extensive experience has equipped me with a deep understanding of internal controls, compliance, and stakeholder engagement.

Throughout my career, I have successfully facilitated risk management workshops, produced comprehensive reports for Audit Committees, and developed key performance indicators to monitor service effectiveness. I take pride in my ability to identify trends in insurance claims data and implement processes that enhance operational efficiency. My commitment to continuous improvement is evident in my proactive approach to risk management, where I strive to embed robust solutions that ensure compliance and safeguard organizational assets.

As a dedicated professional, I believe in the importance of collaboration and communication. I have worked closely with directors and risk champions to ensure that risk registers are up-to-date and that all stakeholders are informed of their responsibilities. My role as the GDPR representative for Audit and Risk Services highlights my commitment to data protection and confidentiality, ensuring that all data sharing agreements are in place and adhered to. I am always eager to learn and adapt, making me a valuable asset to any team.
