This document contains an overview of the Cairngorms National Park Authority's budget management at the end of the first quarter of the 2023/24 financial year, ending on 30 June 2023. Overall, spending is less, around 12%, than expected for this time of year. Since the budget was approved, there have been some changes to the amount of funding available. The report also notes that a payment of £150,000 was made in March 2023 to support the Cairngorms 2030 (C2030) commitment. The cost of staff and board pay is within budget for the quarter, and running costs are also in line with expectations. The report recommends that the Resources Committee consider the budget management position for 2023/24.
