This document contains an overview of the Cairngorms National Park Authority's (NPA) budget management as of 31 January 2023. The Resources Committee is asked to consider the budget management for 2022/23 and any related risks. The financial position continues to project a break-even outturn, with an expected underspend of £120,000 in staff costs likely available for reallocation. Running costs are generally in line with expectations, although the peatland programme has lower than anticipated cash expenditure, with efforts underway to encourage claims against commitments. The report also notes that non-grant income is £52,000 below the phased budget, posing a manageable risk.
