Paper 5 - Cover Strategic Risk Registers

This document contains information for the Audit and Risk Committee of the Cairngorms National Park Authority, prepared by Louise Allen, Head of Finance and Corporate Operations, for discussion on 20 June 2025. The paper reviews the Park Authority's strategic risk management position and the Cairngorms 2030 programme risk management position, detailed in Annexes 1 and 2. The Committee is asked to consider the coverage and adequacy of the risk management positions, advising on any gaps or amendments required. The strategic risk register has 13 active risks, with six carrying a high risk score. Risk 5 is now considered managed, and vacant posts in the Engagement team have been filled. The total programme risk profile remains at Amber due to funding risks for Active Transport projects. The Committee is invited to consider the current coverage of the risk registers and provide feedback.
