• Maintain oversight of risks, issues, and dependencies relating to regulatory reporting.
• Support regular updates on incentive forecasts and regulatory reconciliations for senior leadership forums—including Portfolio Boards, STEC, and the Investments & Commitments Committee.
• Contribute to ongoing regulatory reporting, including the Annual Performance Report, quarterly ODI forecasts, AMP8 Delivery Plan updates, and Ofwat engagement meetings.
