Pack Page 7 Y Pwyllgor Cyfrifon Cyhoeddus / Public Accounts Committee PAC(5)-28-17 PTN 1 Agenda Item 2.1 Pack Page 8 Pack Page 9 Handover Note from Sir Derek Jones to Shan Morgan on Principal Accounting Officer Issues We have discussed informally the immediate challenges which you will face as Principal Accounting Officer for the Welsh Government, but I also thought that it might be helpful if I were to set down for you the live issues, as they seem to me, which you are taking over; and the general context of PAO business within which you will do so. This does not, of course, include a definitive list of all the challenges which you will face in the role – you will be fully briefed on those in due course – but reflects my own view on the more immediate issues to which I suggest you will need to give your attention. Context The organisation is well-placed in terms of governance, audit and accountability processes; the teams involved in operating them; and their leadership. (Internal Audit recently received a very positive report from an external peer-professional benchmarking exercise.) The procedures for financial control and risk management are also generally very sound, as are the processes for supporting the Audit and Risk Committees; and indeed the Committees themselves – see below. You also have available to you a strong cohort of Additional Accounting Officers. The PAO role is unique - the overall accountability that goes with it is essential to your authority, even if that makes it a lonely place at times! But in practice you can also rely on your AAOs for carrying out a range of business on your behalf, including where appropriate at the PAC. Establishing constructive relationships I cannot stress too highly how much it has helped me in the role to have established positive and professional relationships with both the Public Accounts Committee and with the Auditor General for Wales. I have always given high priority to my appearances in front of the Committee and sought to take a positive and open approach to the encounters. I have also benefited enormously from a constructive and candid “no surprises” regular dialogue with the AGW. I know that you are determined to establish the same relationships. Another key relationship of course will be between yourself and the Chair of your Audit and Risk Committee, where I have been extremely well supported by the current Chair, who has always been a wise source of counsel and advice. When the time comes to appoint a new Chair you will want to consider how you fill this important role very carefully. Pack Page 10 Arms-Length Bodies You will have seen that shortly before your arrival the Wales Audit Office published a very helpful discussion paper on governance of Arms-Length Bodies. We had a constructive and illuminating seminar with the senior teams of the Welsh Government and the Wales Audit Office which fed into the final version of the paper. So there are important strategic issues about our relationship with our Arms-Length Bodies which you will want to consider moving forward. Related to this issue, and arising from recent experience with some of them, I think that there is more which can be done to ensure that our sponsorship and oversight role is being discharged as effectively as it can. Work to take this forward is in the early stages and you will want to satisfy yourself that it is rigorous and that improvements are being implemented. Grants Management You will soon have the latest annual grants management report to the Public Accounts Committee to sign off and the Committee will no doubt invite you to give evidence on the report. This is an annual occurrence and the Committee can ask you some quite wide-ranging questions. We have been focussed on improving our procedures for managing grants for some years, following a series of WAO reports which highlighted some shortcomings. With the assistance of the WAO we have been making steady progress but there are still areas where we can improve – and of course, given the sheer volume and variety of the grants that we make, there will always be a small number of cases where things go wrong. The challenge here is accepting that those cases which do go wrong need to be considered carefully and lessons learned where appropriate, but without over-reacting to the publicity and criticism – keeping the right balance of risk appetite. A lot more goes right than goes wrong. Tackling Fraud Related to grants management, there has been some interest recently from the PAC about our counter-fraud measures and you will wish to consider how we should move forward on this front. The arrangements which we have for combatting fraud and for taking action where we have concerns about specific cases are sound and have improved steadily over the last few years but I am sure that there will be further improvements which we can make moving forward.

The IWA is an independent organisation owing no allegiance to any political or economic interest group. Our only interest is in seeing Wales flourish as a country in which to work and live. We are funded by a range of organisations and individuals, including the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust, the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, and the Waterloo Foundation. For more information about the Institute, its publications, and how to join, either as an individual or corporate supporter, contact: IWA - Institute of Welsh Affairs, 4 Cathedral Road, Cardiff CF11 9LJ T: 029 2066 0820 F: 029 2023 3741 E: [email protected] www.iwa.org.uk www.clickonwales.org Inspired by the bardd teulu (household poet) tradition of medieval and Renaissance Wales, the H’mm Foundation is seeking to bridge the gap between poets and people by bringing modern poetry more into the public domain and particularly to the workplace. The H’mm Foundation is named after H’m, a volume of poetry by R.S. Thomas, and because the musing sound ‘H’mm’ is an internationally familiar ‘expression’, crossing all linguistic frontiers. This literary venture has already secured the support of well-known poets and writers, including Gillian Clarke, National Poet for Wales, Jon Gower, Menna Elfyn, Nigel Jenkins, Peter Finch and Gwyneth Lewis.

  • Wrexham Mission Area News
    Wrexham No. 27 Mission Area Lent 2021 News Jonathan Smith writes … Welcome to this first edition of Mission Area News for 2021. Welcome especially to the Rev’d Dylan Parry Jones who joins us from the Dyffryn Clwyd (Ruthin) Mission Area. Dylan takes over the role vacated by Sam with responsibility for Holy Trinity Church, Rhostyllen, Esclusham and All Saints, Poyser Street. Dylan introduces himself elsewhere in our publication. It was good to be able to enjoy a degree of normality over Christmas with many of the usual events taking place in creative and innovative ways with both ‘in person’ and online worship. The new year saw an inordinate rise in Covid 19 rates not least here in Wrexham. While Welsh Government allowed churches to remain open for worship, the increasing risks prompted Welsh bishops to advise that all worship be online unless considered essential. We have complied with their wishes since early January but hope to stage a cautious return to our churches during March in time for Easter. It will be vital that everyone continues to follow the guidelines to the letter regardless of how many doses of vaccine you may or may not have received! I hope everyone will support wardens, clergy and others in maintaining our good record in protecting everyone. Online worship will continue to be a part of what we offer for the foreseeable future and is just one of a number of positives that we should take forward from the Coronavirus experience. As churches, we ought rightly to consider our flock to include many who for a whole host of reasons are not sitting in church on a Sunday morning.
