This document contains the Cairngorms National Park Authority's (CNPA) 2022/23 Internal Audit Report on Performance Management. The audit found that while the CNPA has a performance management system in place, improvements are needed. Many key performance indicators focus on activities rather than outcomes, and workplans weren't always up-to-date or measurable. The report recommends developing a dashboard for better real-time reporting and ensuring staff workplans are specific, measurable, and timebound, linked to the corporate plan. The audit identified some good practices, such as regular reporting to the Board and Performance Committee, but the overall assessment highlighted areas needing improvement to strengthen the CNPA's control framework.
