This document contains the Cairngorms National Park Authority's Internal Audit Report 2023/24 on Risk Management. The report concludes that while the Park Authority has a risk management framework in place, improvements are needed. These include developing operational risk registers, consistently scoring and reviewing risks, and formalising working practices within an updated strategy. The report identifies several areas for improvement and offers recommendations, including updating the risk management strategy, implementing operational risk registers, and improving the risk scoring methodology. A management action plan outlines steps to address these recommendations with deadlines ranging from March to December 2024.
