The final internal audit documents were supplied on 1 July 2026. Further clarification of a payroll reconciliation was subsequently sought from the internal auditor.

Council approval of the Annual Return was recorded at the Extraordinary Meeting on 19 August 2026 under minute EOM 260819.03. The Responsible Financial Officer and Chair signed the Annual Return on 1 September 2026.

This notice explains the late completion of the certification and approval process. The external audit has not yet been completed.

Hysbysiad o ardystio a chymeradwyo cyfrifon yn hwyr

Y flwyddyn ariannol a ddaeth i ben ar 31 Mawrth 2026. Cyhoeddwyd 4 Medi 2026.

Ni chwblhaodd y Cyngor y broses o ardystio a chymeradwyo’r datganiadau cyfrifyddu erbyn 30 Mehefin 2026. Cafwyd oedi wrth ymdrin â’r archwiliad mewnol a chwestiynau cyfrifyddu cysylltiedig, ac wrth gyflwyno’r Ffurflen Flynyddol i’r Cyngor i’w hystyried yn ffurfiol.

Darparwyd dogfennau terfynol yr archwiliad mewnol ar 1 Gorffennaf 2026. Gofynnwyd wedyn i’r archwilydd mewnol am eglurhad pellach ynghylch cysoniad cyflogres.

Cofnodwyd cymeradwyaeth y Cyngor i’r Ffurflen Flynyddol yn y Cyfarfod Arbennig ar 19 Awst 2026, o dan gofnod EOM 260819.03. Llofnododd y Swyddog Ariannol Cyfrifol a’r Cadeirydd y Ffurflen Flynyddol ar 1 Medi 2026.

Mae’r hysbysiad hwn yn egluro pam y cwblhawyd y broses ardystio a chymeradwyo’n hwyr. Nid yw’r archwiliad allanol wedi’i gwblhau eto. Mae’r hysbysiad wedi’i lofnodi ar gael yn Saesneg drwy’r ddolen uchod. Am ragor o wybodaeth, cysylltwch â’r Clerc ar clerk@narberthtowncouncil.gov.wales neu 01834 504020. Mae croeso i chi gysylltu yn Gymraeg neu Saesneg.
