This document contains a summary review of the Cairngorms National Park Authority's income and expenditure for the four months leading up to 31 July 2020. Prepared by Finance Manager Daniel Ralph, the report, dated 28 August 2020, details the financial position of the Authority's core activities, operational plan, and four externally funded projects, including the Tomintoul & Glenlivet Landscape Partnership and Great Place Badenoch. Overall, income and salaries are broadly on budget, while core and operational plan expenditure is below budget. COVID-19 related actions have resulted in £12,000 of unbudgeted costs, but the finance department has continued to operate effectively, with ongoing efforts to digitize finance transactions and explore remote access solutions. The Finance & Delivery Committee is requested to note the outturn for the four months to 31 July 2020.
