190503 AuCtteePaper5Annex1CommitteesTerms of Reference for Review

This document contains the terms of reference for three committees within the Cairngorms National Park Authority: the Audit and Risk Committee, the Staffing and Recruitment Committee, and the Finance and Delivery Committee. Each committee has six members (three forming a quorum), with the Chief Executive and other staff in attendance but without voting rights. External auditors and, in the case of the Staffing and Recruitment Committee, a Scottish Government representative also attend. The committees' responsibilities range from overseeing financial planning and risk management, to staff recruitment, performance reviews, and the implementation of the Park's strategic plans. All committees are permanent, but membership and chairs are reviewed every three years.
