This document contains an internal audit report from May 2019, reviewing the Cairngorms National Park Authority's compliance with a Service Level Agreement (SLA) for the LEADER programme. The LEADER programme aims to support rural communities and businesses. The audit found that the Park Authority had sound internal controls in place, consistently applied, to ensure compliance with the SLA. There were no high or medium-risk findings, and zero recommendations were issued. The report assessed the effectiveness of project applications, approvals, and claim submissions, confirming that processes are in place to ensure the organisation meets the requirements of the agreement.
