ARC Paper 6 Cover Risk Registers

This document contains a paper for the Audit and Risk Committee, asking them to review how the Cairngorms National Park Authority manages its strategic risks and the risks for its Cairngorms 2030 programme. The most recent strategic risk register was checked in May 2026, and while 3 of the 14 active risks are now being managed, one important risk about IT disaster recovery and planning for unexpected events is worsening and needs significant work. Most other strategic risks are stable or improving. For the Cairngorms 2030 programme, the overall risk profile is currently low, but there is some uncertainty about funding for specific community projects and making sure promised match funding is secured. The Committee is invited to share their views on these risk registers.
