This document contains the Cairngorms National Park Authority's internal audit report for 2021/22. The audit reviewed how the authority manages its major projects, finding that while all projects were identified and assurance was provided to the board, the implementation of a major project approach was only partially complete. Areas needing improvement include fully implementing the new approach, developing better templates and tools for monitoring and reporting, and creating a project plan for implementation. The audit also highlights some good practices and identifies two key risks related to resourcing major programmes. A management action plan is included to address the identified areas for improvement.
