Ar ôl diwedd pob blwyddyn ariannol, rhaid i’r Cyngor Tref gyflwyno, i’r archwilwyr allanol a benodir gan Archwilydd Cyffredinol Cymru, Ffurflen Flynyddol sy’n nodi cyfrifon y Cyngor am y flwyddyn a’i drefniadau a’i arferion llywodraethu ariannol.
Mae'r Ffurflen hon yn gofnod ffurfiol o reolaeth ariannol y Cyngor am y flwyddyn, rhaid ei hystyried yn fanwl a'i chymeradwyo gan y Cyngor a chyn ei chyflwyno i'r archwilwyr allanol, rhaid iddi fod wedi bod trwy archwiliad trylwyr gan archwiliwr a benodwyd i'r diben hwnnw gan y Cyngor Tref.
Yn ystod ac yn dilyn y broses archwilio allanol, mae'n ofynnol i'r Cyngor Tref sicrhau bod y cyfrifon ac unrhyw adroddiad / sylwadau a wneir ar gael am gyfnod, i'w harchwilio gan etholwyr lleol. Bydd y cyfnodau perthnasol yn cael eu cyhoeddi ar y wefan hon ac ar hysbysfyrddau cyhoeddus y Cyngor. Bydd y Cyngor wedyn yn sicrhau bod y datganiad ac ati ar gael i'w archwilio ar amser sy'n gyfleus i bawb trwy gysylltu â Chlerc y Dref ymlaen llaw.
Mae rheoliad 15 (5) o Reoliadau Cyfrifon ac archwilio (Cymru) 2014 (fel y'i diwygiwyd) yn ei gwneud yn ofynnol, erbyn 30 Medi 2021, i Cyngor Tref Llanrwst gyhoeddi ei ddatganiadau cyfrifyddu ar gyfer y flwyddyn a ddaeth i ben 31 Mawrth 2021 ynghyd ag unrhyw dystysgrif, barn neu adroddiad a gyhoeddwyd, a roddwyd neu a wnaed gan yr Archwilydd Cyffredinol.
Mae'r datganiadau cyfrifyddu ar ffurf ffurflen flynyddol wedi'u cyhoeddi ar wefan y Cyngor. Fodd bynnag, cyhoeddir y cyfrifon cyn i'r archwiliad ddod i ben. Oherwydd effaith COVID-19, nid yw'r Archwilydd Cyffredinol wedi cyhoe_ddi barn archwilio eto.
The Auditor General for Wales Audit Certificate and Report – prepared by the appointed external auditors BDO llp of Southampton
Their overall opinion, as set out in the Annual Return document is that “ in our opinion, the information contained in the Annual Return is in accordance with proper practices and no matters have come to our attention giving cause for concern that relevant legislation and regulatory requirements have not been met.”
Two matters were drawn to the Council’s attention
a) “The council have a website but it does not comply with the requirements of the Local Government (Democracy) (Wales) Act 2013, section 55.
b) Incorrect use, in their opinion of S.137 spending powers in relation to the National Eisteddfod of Wales 2019.
These matters have been challenged by the Town Council but at the time of uploading the annual return there has been no response.
As regards (a), the Council’s website was destroyed by hackers attacking the servers of the company which maintained our website at that time. The Town Council immediately advised BDO, the Wales Audit Office and Welsh Government of the situation and advised that it would take some time to rebuild a new website. On two further occasions the Council reminded BDO of our situation and as such the criticism is viewed as unfair and unreasonable.
As regards (b), from the outset, the Town Council, in inviting the Eisteddfod to come to Llanrwst clearly recorded the fact that its prime intention in inviting the Eisteddfod was to generate economic benefits to our town and neighbouring communities. We believe that we have used our spending powers properly and acted honestly and with complete transparency but BDO regard the matter as one of encouraging / supporting cultural events for which we had authority to spend and should have recorded it as such. Again here we are awaiting a response.
(Any matters drawn to our attention by the external auditors are considered at a meeting of the Town Council and an action plan agreed to promptly address such matters)
