Archwilio Cymru—Craffu ar Amcangyfrif 2023-24 a'r Adroddiad Interim: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
So, it might be a bigger theme next year, and we'll probably hear more about this as the competitiveness plays out, I suppose.

Archwilio Cymru—Craffu ar Amcangyfrif 2023-24 a'r Adroddiad Interim: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
It's a really good point the Chair's raised here actually and leads to a couple of other questions, because, obviously, we've said that the estimate is based on no growth or new initiatives. However, we've just identified quite a considerable new pressure and…

Yes. Thanks for that. I'm content with that. I'd just like to explore the practical impact of the new accounting standards. I don't know if that captures some of the other wicked issue of the international auditing standard. I just wonder what the impact was…

Archwilio Cymru—Craffu ar Amcangyfrif 2023-24 a'r Adroddiad Interim: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Yes, and I suppose it resonates with one of those wicked issues you highlighted earlier—the threat from the private sector coming in. You're going to end up having to be more competitive, I suppose. So, I can see a bit of a dilemma there.

Archwilio Cymru—Craffu ar Amcangyfrif 2023-24 a'r Adroddiad Interim: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Thank you. I'd like to just explore a bit on the draft fee scheme. I know the proposed average increase in fee rates is about 4.8 per cent, with an increase of between 12 per cent and 18 per cent for audit of accounts work. I just wonder what the views were…

So, in the scenario that something happened there and there was a switch, that would lessen the percentage increase that you'd want in the estimate—

It's the same scenario as the other side of the coin.

You wouldn't increase the payments, particularly, to use spare moneys up.

Just some final questions on money, so, let's play the other side of the coin, that if take-up wasn't so good, it didn't need £278 million, what happens to surpluses? Are they ring-fenced to your department, or would it enter pillar 2 equivalent, or would it…

The historical system was really quite unfair, if you go back, and it was all based on what subsidies you claimed many, many years ago, and that's what sort of got converted to your entitlements and things. At least this now gives a clean sheet for anybody to…

I wanted to just confirm. I have to say, back in the early days, when we had the integrated administration and control system forms and all of those things, we had to go and get maps and we had to map out every tree trunk and all of these different things on…

Yes, and understanding how using too much of one input can alter the natural balance of the ground and things. I see that, yes. Thanks for that. The preferred option—I note the administrative cost, excluding inspections and in-situ visits, is around £24.6…

Yes. Thanks for that. I can understand that as well. So, I'm assuming, once the SLM scheme is finalised, you will be attempting to quantify what the benefits are and we can—that can be fed back into us.

Goblygiadau ariannol y Bil Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru): Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Yes, I accept that; it's pretty challenging. Moving on, then, to other benefits, there is a range of benefits included in the RIA relating to areas such as the future support of forestry, again, and these haven't been quantified. What work did you undertake…

Thank you. If I can just move on to forestry, the RIA notes that the private sector costs relating to forestry are rising as a result of adding conditions to new licenses have also not been quantified. How have you assessed the impact of these potential costs…
