This document contains the 2020/21 final accounts for the Cairngorms National Park Authority. It's asking the Audit and Risk Committee to approve these accounts before they're sent to Grant Thornton and Audit Scotland for final approval. The document explains the committee's role in ensuring the accounts are accurate and that proper risk management and governance processes were followed. Grant Thornton, the Park Authority's external auditors, are expected to give a positive audit opinion. The Chief Executive, who is also the Accountable Officer, will then sign the approved accounts.
