This document contains an update to the Cairngorms National Park Authority's strategic risk register. The Audit and Risk Committee needs to review this update, focusing on reputational risks. The committee will consider if any strategic risks affecting the Authority's goals are missing and whether to remove some risks from the register. A key area of concern is the Authority's reputation, which is considered in relation to social media, isolated incidents (like wildlife crime), and balancing the four statutory aims of the National Park. Proposed changes include simplifying similar risks into a single entry.

This document contains an update on the Cairngorms National Park Authority's risk management during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Authority already had a system for managing risks, but created a separate, temporary risk register to address the specific challenges of the pandemic. This temporary register supports, but doesn't replace, the main risk register. The document asks the Audit and Risk Committee to review the temporary register and consider if the Authority's approach to risk management remains suitable during the pandemic.
