This document contains a proposal for improved risk management at the Cairngorms National Park Authority. Following an internal audit, the Park Authority is recommending a revised risk management policy and a new risk register format. The updated system will include clearer procedures for identifying, recording, and reporting operational risks, a regular review process, a scoring matrix aligning risk scores with the organisation's risk appetite, and updated risk register templates to track actions and their due dates. These improvements aim to make the risk management process more effective and relevant.
