This document contains an overview of strategic risk management for the Cairngorms National Park Authority. It presents an updated strategic risk register, reviewed in January 2022, and discusses the management of risks related to the Heritage Horizons programme and the COVID-19 pandemic. The document recommends that the Audit and Risk Committee review the risk register, agree on mitigation actions for the Heritage Horizons programme, and reduce the COVID-19 business continuity risk register to operational management. The committee is also asked to consider the adequacy of risk management coverage and mitigation efforts. Finally, it's suggested that the COVID-19 business continuity risk management be removed from strategic level scrutiny, as the business continuity team will continue monitoring and managing the remaining risks.
