This document contains the Cairngorms National Park Authority's draft financial outturn position for the financial year ending 31 March 2020, as presented to external auditors. It focuses on the Authority's use of grant in aid from the Scottish Government for the 2019/20 financial year, which is subject to external audit and may change. The Finance and Delivery Committee is asked to note the provisional expenditure and consider any financial or governance issues. The Authority's budgets are based on the grant in aid and monitored by the Finance and Delivery Committee. The draft final accounts show a slight underspend in revenue and full use of capital grant in aid, with the accounts very close to full use of grant in aid allocations, and the Finance team continue to work with auditors, Grant Thornton.
