Thank you very much, Huw, and thank you all for your time this morning. It's been a very interesting and informative session, and we'll be reporting back in due course. One thing I'd like to say is good luck, and continue with your work with the T&S scheme; I…

Okay, thank you very much. And finally on this section, before I bring Huw in, you've outlined that there is a £26-a-month homeworking allowance in your letter, which has been paid to staff since early in the pandemic, which will continue as part of the T&S…

With regard to that, have you modelled through when—. If that estimate came through, have you modelled through when that break-even point would be? Is that significantly down the line, or is that fairly soon?
10 Tachwedd 2021 , Finance Committee
Archwilio Cymru—Craffu ar Amcangyfrif 2022-23 a'r Adroddiad Interim: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Okay, thank you very much. On a slightly different point, how does Audit Wales intend to report on savings from the removal of the fixed allowances, and how will those savings be returned to the WCF, or will Audit Wales request to retain that funding?

Archwilio Cymru—Craffu ar Amcangyfrif 2022-23 a'r Adroddiad Interim: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
I've just got a couple of questions before I move on to Huw, if I may. We were talking earlier about the difference in the working capital being £250,000; I think Nic mentioned it. How does that work in relation to what we're talking about, the £200,000 cost…

Archwilio Cymru—Craffu ar Amcangyfrif 2022-23 a'r Adroddiad Interim: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Okay. Thank you very much. I'll invite Peter to ask some questions.
10 Tachwedd 2021 , Finance Committee
Archwilio Cymru—Craffu ar Amcangyfrif 2022-23 a'r Adroddiad Interim: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
And at what level are they within the organisation, then?
10 Tachwedd 2021 , Finance Committee
Archwilio Cymru—Craffu ar Amcangyfrif 2022-23 a'r Adroddiad Interim: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
How many temporary staff are you likely to be taking on?
10 Tachwedd 2021 , Finance Committee
Archwilio Cymru—Craffu ar Amcangyfrif 2022-23 a'r Adroddiad Interim: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Thank you very much. The largest individual increase is £80,000 relating to audit quality. This is a programme over the next two years. What is this funding for? Is it training, staffing or other resources? How will progress be monitored and are the new audit…

Archwilio Cymru—Craffu ar Amcangyfrif 2022-23 a'r Adroddiad Interim: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Okay. Thank you very much. I'd like to move on to explore the request for increased funding for 2022-23. Audit Wales has included £74,000 for increased costs to audit work. There's limited specific information in the estimate as to how this figure has been…
10 Tachwedd 2021 , Finance Committee
Archwilio Cymru—Craffu ar Amcangyfrif 2022-23 a'r Adroddiad Interim: Sesiwn dystiolaeth

Archwilio Cymru—Craffu ar Amcangyfrif 2022-23 a'r Adroddiad Interim: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Did you say then that the £45,000 will be an annual cost?
10 Tachwedd 2021 , Finance Committee
Archwilio Cymru—Craffu ar Amcangyfrif 2022-23 a'r Adroddiad Interim: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Okay. Thank you very much. You've included the National Fraud Initiative funding outside of your headline change in the Welsh consolidated fund funding. Can you confirm that the additional £80,000 for National Fraud Initiative pilots is also outside that…

Archwilio Cymru—Craffu ar Amcangyfrif 2022-23 a'r Adroddiad Interim: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Thank you very much. The net cash requirements in the estimate is an increase of 8.5 per cent. This accounts for two non-cash adjustments, including £750,000 for movements in working capital, which increases the cash sought from the Welsh consolidated fund…

Archwilio Cymru—Craffu ar Amcangyfrif 2022-23 a'r Adroddiad Interim: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
So, with the increase in capacity then, that's predominantly going to be using contractors rather than increasing capacity using permanent members of staff.
10 Tachwedd 2021 , Finance Committee
Archwilio Cymru—Craffu ar Amcangyfrif 2022-23 a'r Adroddiad Interim: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Thank you very much. So, without exploring the detail regarding specific increases requested, because I think we'll look at those a little bit later on, overall, staff costs are due to increase by 3.9 per cent and almost double for short-term contract staff…
