What the accounts disclose

Related-party transaction: The charity is administered by Gwynedd Council (Cyngor Gwynedd), which also employs the internal auditor and independent auditor. The accounts are prepared by the Council.

“Mae Cyngor Gwynedd yn gweinyddu’r gronfa ac yn dosbarthu’r llog yn flynyddol ar ffurf grantiau i elusennau cofrestredig yng Ngwynedd”

Per its FY2025 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.

Governance: The internal audit report states the Charity Commission website incorrectly shows accounts as 'applied' (likely meaning filed/compliant) for the last 4 years, and that Internal Audit contacted the Commission to correct this.

“Er gwaethaf y datganiad o sicrwydd, mae gwefan y Comisiwn Elusennau yn nodi yn anghywir bod y cyfrifon am y 4 mlynedd diwethaf wedi'u cymhwyso. Fodd bynnag, mae Archwilio Mewnol wedi cysylltu efo’r Comisiwn Elusennau i gywiro hyn.” — page 4
