This document contains an internal audit report for the Cairngorms National Park Authority's LEADER Programme from 2021/22. The audit found that the programme's closure procedures generally followed good practice, with clear guidance and compliance in most areas. However, some issues were noted: the programme tracker wasn't fully up-to-date, closure letters weren't consistently sent, and improvements were needed to records management and lessons learned. The report includes recommendations for addressing these areas, along with a management action plan to improve processes and ensure compliance with the Service Level Agreement.
