10 Adjustment of 1985 figures Following a structural reorganisation, the 198 6 Accounts note 5 include, under Regional expenditure, costs which in 1985 were included under RAAs, Multi Media and Regional . Also, expenditure relating to Royal National Eisteddfod included in administration of Subsidies an d Services note 41986 were in 1985 included in Mult i Media . The 1985 figures have been adjusted fo r comparability.

Certificate of Comptroller and Auditor Genera l I have examined the foregoing Income an d Expenditure Account, Balance Sheet and th e supporting information set out in the Statement o f Source and Application of Funds and the Notes. In my opinion these give, under the historical cos t convention, a taste and fair view of the state of affairs of the Welsh Arts Council at 31 March 1986 and of its surplus and the source and application of its funds fo r the year ended on that date .
