This document contains an assurance mapping exercise for the Cairngorms National Park Authority. It presents initial work, assessing the needed levels of assurance and planning future progress. The Audit and Risk Committee is asked to review a report on this mapping and advise on the framework's development and initial assessment of assurance needs. The Park Authority has been working on its governance processes, and this assurance framework will complement that work, tying together key areas of assurance, required levels of assurance, and the effectiveness of current systems. The approach and initial assessment of key areas are detailed in annexes to the document.
