This document contains the Cairngorms National Park Authority's 2023/24 final accounts. The Audit and Risk Committee needs to approve these accounts before they're sent to Mazars (the external auditors) and Audit Scotland. The accounts show the Park Authority's financial performance and position, including a slight overspend within acceptable limits and some unused funding for peatland restoration. The committee also reviewed the Authority’s financial processes and risk management. The Chief Executive will sign the accounts once they are approved by the committee and the auditors.
