Audit Committee Paper 2 01/11/07 

CAIRNGORMS NATIONAL PARK AUTHORITY 


FOR INFORMATION 


Title: STANDING ITEM: STRATEGIC RISK REGISTER AND 
BALANCED SCORECARD MEASURES 

Prepared by: DAVID CAMERON, HEAD OF CORPORATE SERVICES 

Purpose 

To update the Committee on the Management Team’s review of the Strategic Risk Register. 

Recommendations 

The Committee is asked to: 

a) Note the updated Strategic Risk Register presented at Annex 1 to this paper. 

b) Note the current balanced scorecard organisational performance measures on 
governance and risk management as set out in Annex 2 to this paper. 


Executive Summary 

The Management Team regularly reviews the Authority’s Strategic Risk Register. The 
updated Strategic Risk Register is presented in Annex 1 to this paper for information 
following the most recent review of the status of strategic risks by the Management Team on 
2 October 2007. 

No additional risks have been added to the register since it was last considered by the 
Committee at its meeting in March 2007. A number of updates to actions and status of 
tracking of risk have been made and these are noted in the Annex. Where a risk is no longer 
considered relevant, this has been shaded in grey. 

The paper also sets out a summary of the balanced scorecard measures for governance and 
risk management, as at 30 September 2007. The measures continue to reflect the delayed 
FOI response highlighted in December 2006 as an “amber” aspect of performance. This 
aspect will fall out of the monitoring figures in the next reporting cycle and this measure 
will revert back to green, assuming procedures continue to ensure the 20 day response target 
is met.
