Note the letter. I'm sorry, I missed agenda item 2.3, which is the letter to you, Chair: scrutiny of annual report and accounts. Have we done that?

I just think it's quite useful for this to be set out in context in terms of the overall investment, and I think it's of use to note how much money is being spent across Wales in tourism and compare that to the rest of Great Britain. So, I just think to note…

It's just to pick up on that. Why have we got those two separate lines?

Archwilio Cymru - Craffu ar Amcangyfrif 2024-25 a'r Adroddiad Interim 2023-24: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Can I just ask, Chair, if I may, on that particular point that you've made? Obviously, in terms of a percentage of that overall figure, bearing in mind that we know that a lot of public bodies are doing this, bearing in mind your situation of capacity in…

Archwilio Cymru - Craffu ar Amcangyfrif 2024-25 a'r Adroddiad Interim 2023-24: Sesiwn dystiolaeth

Archwilio Cymru - Craffu ar Amcangyfrif 2024-25 a'r Adroddiad Interim 2023-24: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Thank you for that; that's interesting. So, finally then, obviously you've spoken about the impacts around well-being and your mitigation in terms of the staff survey. But, obviously, in terms of human resource capacity, finding the time, then, for training…

Archwilio Cymru - Craffu ar Amcangyfrif 2024-25 a'r Adroddiad Interim 2023-24: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Absolutely. I'm going to move on. So, the interim report outlines a number of activities in relation to staff and well-being, and obviously this is all linked, including a change in approach to your staff survey, which we've spoken about previously in…

Archwilio Cymru - Craffu ar Amcangyfrif 2024-25 a'r Adroddiad Interim 2023-24: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Okay, and I know we've touched upon that. So, in terms of the ongoing backlog impact on the estimate for 2024-25, what could you say to that in terms of the impact?

Archwilio Cymru - Craffu ar Amcangyfrif 2024-25 a'r Adroddiad Interim 2023-24: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Sorry to interrupt you, but just to touch upon a theme, how much of an issue is the staff turnover in terms of being able to fulfil the statutory duty and meet the deadlines? Just, scalicly, how much of an issue is that?
9 Tachwedd 2023 , Finance Committee
Archwilio Cymru - Craffu ar Amcangyfrif 2024-25 a'r Adroddiad Interim 2023-24: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Thank you for that. Moving on to the annual plan for 2023-24, you've suggested that there are issues in terms of meeting statutory deadlines for the 2022-23 audit work, but that there will be a carry-on possibly to 2023-24. So, could you just expand on this…

Archwilio Cymru - Craffu ar Amcangyfrif 2024-25 a'r Adroddiad Interim 2023-24: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Thanks. So, that's absolutely as consulted upon. So, you've also spoken about the impact of the new auditing standards on costs and that your scheme says you're going to evaluate that impact of the new way forward. So, have you factored that into your…

Archwilio Cymru - Craffu ar Amcangyfrif 2024-25 a'r Adroddiad Interim 2023-24: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Okay. I think it's that baseline issue that's confusing the situation. Okay, thank you for that. So, moving on, in terms of the proposals for fees for audited bodies, you're proposing the average increase to 6.4 per cent. So, in terms of the reception around…

Archwilio Cymru - Craffu ar Amcangyfrif 2024-25 a'r Adroddiad Interim 2023-24: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Fine, but it's £1 million more in terms of resourcing, is that correct? I'm not quite clear I got that.
9 Tachwedd 2023 , Finance Committee
Archwilio Cymru - Craffu ar Amcangyfrif 2024-25 a'r Adroddiad Interim 2023-24: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Thank you very much, Chair. So, just to be clear, because there's a lot of information in here, the Minister has stated that budget requests should be set in the context of the long-term financial funding situation in Wales and the funding pressures of the…

Gweinidog, fel y dywedoch chi wrth y cyfryngau, yn ystod cynhadledd newyddion gynnau, pe bai holl weithgareddau'r ffwrnais chwyth yn dod i ben heb ffordd arall o wneud dur sylfaenol, yna gallai'r DU fod yr unig wlad G7 nad yw'n gallu gwneud dur sylfaenol, ac…

Adroddiad Blynyddol a Chyfrifon Comisiynydd Cenedlaethau’r Dyfodol Cymru ar gyfer 2022-23
Just finally, within that, you mentioned 17 per cent around ethnicity appointments, is that captured in terms of pay gap data as well, or are you looking at it in a sort of macro way?

Adroddiad Blynyddol a Chyfrifon Comisiynydd Cenedlaethau’r Dyfodol Cymru ar gyfer 2022-23
Okay, thank you. I'm going to move on from that, and I suppose this is a cultural question, or a leadership question: how concerned are you about your gender pay gap, and how would you assess the progress that the office has made on increasing diversity of…

Adroddiad Blynyddol a Chyfrifon Comisiynydd Cenedlaethau’r Dyfodol Cymru ar gyfer 2022-23
Thank you. In terms of the payment that is termed around paying 'benefits in kind' to staff, for well-being gifts and office trivial benefit, how have you assessed the impact on staff? Bearing in mind the pressure on resources, how do you continue to justify…

Adroddiad Blynyddol a Chyfrifon Comisiynydd Cenedlaethau’r Dyfodol Cymru ar gyfer 2022-23
Okay, thank you. There seemed to be some gap in terms of the appointment of a finance director or head. How did you manage that? Very briefly.

Adroddiad Blynyddol a Chyfrifon Comisiynydd Cenedlaethau’r Dyfodol Cymru ar gyfer 2022-23
Okay, thank you. In terms of your senior staff structure, the first commissioner introduced a more linear structure that didn't include directors. Do you have views or a position on that, and are there any plans to review it, please?
25 Hydref 2023 , Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee
Adroddiad Blynyddol a Chyfrifon Comisiynydd Cenedlaethau’r Dyfodol Cymru ar gyfer 2022-23
Okay, fine. That's fine, for clarity. Sorry, did you want to carry on, or have you finished?

Adroddiad Blynyddol a Chyfrifon Comisiynydd Cenedlaethau’r Dyfodol Cymru ar gyfer 2022-23
You had to do it.
