Audit and Risk Committee meeting - Paper 1: Cover risk register - 14 November 2025

This document contains a paper for discussion by the Audit and Risk Committee of the Cairngorms National Park Authority, prepared by Louise Allen, Head of Finance and Corporate Operations, on 14 November 2025. The paper supports a review of the Park Authority's strategic risk management position. The Audit and Risk Committee is asked to consider the coverage and adequacy of the Park Authority's strategic risk management position and the Cairngorms 2030 programme risk management position, and advise on any gaps or amendments required to the current risk registers. The most recent strategic risk register was reviewed on 17 October 2025, and there remain 13 active risks. The total programme risk profile was changed from green to amber in March due to funding risks for Active Communities transport projects, but this risk has now been significantly reduced. The Committee is invited to consider the current coverage of the risk registers as set out in the Annexes.
