A4e is a group companies which is a deliverer of government funded learning and support for non\-employed persons throughout the United Kingdom and further afield.  


A4e (Wales) ltd, one of its subsidiary companies, successfully tendered for the delivery of Work Based Learning (WBL) in a number of vocational sectors in Wales.  It has a £6,101,831 WBL contract with the Welsh Government for 2011/2012; it has held contracts for WBL delivery in Wales since 2004\.  A4e is also in receipt of European funds through six European Social Fund projects.  The total value of these contracts is £6\.6m.  


The company is subject to a police investigation in respect of suspected fraud by its staff in Berkshire.  


A4e state that the fraud was identified through its whistle blowing policy and subsequent internal audit in 2010\.  Potential fraudulent activity was identified in its Slough, Berkshire office relating to a Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) contract.  It instigated a 100% check of claims made to identify the scale of the fraud.  Following its internal investigation, A4e reported its findings to DWP in November 2010 and, following a DWP investigation, the case was referred to Thames Valley Police in May 2011\.  


The police investigation is on\-going and four former employees have recently been arrested on suspicion of fraud.  


The Work Based Learning Programme is subject to audit by the Welsh Government Provider Assurance and Governance Service (PAGS).  The last review, which took place in November 2010, was a full systems review combined with data testing.  The full systems review concluded that A4e had a sound system of internal control over the WBL funds.  The data testing identified no errors.  


However, in order to provide additional assurance, on 5 March 2012 PAGS commenced a routine audit.  The purpose of the audit is to obtain assurance that A4e has applied the Welsh Government’s funds in a manner consistent with the purposes for which the funds have been given and in compliance with the conditions attached to the payment of those funds.  DWP stated that it is currently content to continue with its contract arrangements with A4e.  


The PAGS team is also liaising with Welsh European Funding Office (WEFO) and the BIG Lottery so that a joint approach is adopted and the assurance obtained is shared with public funding partners, including the WEFO in respect of EU funding.

Grŵp o gwmnïau yw A4e sy'n darparu dysgu a chymorth a ariennir gan y llywodraeth ar gyfer personau anghyflogedig ledled y DU ac ymhellach i ffwrdd.

Yr oedd A4e (Cymru) Cyf, un o'i is\-gwmnïau, wedi tendro'n llwyddiannus i gyflenwi Dysgu Seiliedig ar Waith mewn nifer o sectorau galwedigaethol yng Nghymru.  Mae ganddo gontract Dysgu Seiliedig ar Waith o £6,101,831 gyda Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer 2011/2012;  mae wedi bod â chontractau ar gyfer cyflenwi dysgu seiliedig ar waith yng Nghymru ers 2004\.  Mae A4e hefyd yn cael cyllid Ewropeaidd drwy chwe phrosiect Cronfa Gymdeithasol Ewrop.  Gyda'i gilydd, mae'r contractau  hyn yn werth £6\.6 miliwn.

Mae'r cwmni yn destun ymchwiliad gan yr heddlu mewn perthynas â honiad o dwyll gan ei staff yn Berkshire.  

Dywedodd A4e y canfuwyd y twyll drwy ei bolisi chwythu'r chwiban a'r archwiliad mewnol a ddilynodd yn 2010\.  Gwelwyd gweithgaredd twyllodrus posibl yn ei swyddfa yn Slough, Berkshire oedd yn ymwneud â chontract yr Adran Gwaith a Phensiynau.  Yn sgil hynny archwiliwyd pob un o'r hawliadau i weld i ba raddau yr oedd y twyll wedi digwydd.  Yn dilyn ymchwiliad mewnol, rhoddodd A4e adroddiad am ei ganfyddiadau i'r Adran Gwaith a Phensiynau ym mis Tachwedd 2010 ac ar ôl i'r Adran Gwaith a Phensiynau ymchwilio i'r mater, cyfeiriwyd yr achos at Heddlu Thames Valley ym mis Mai 2011\.  

Mae'r heddlu yn parhau â'i ymchwiliad ac yn ddiweddar cafodd pedwar cyn\-weithiwr eu harestio dan amheuaeth o dwyll.  

Mae'r Rhaglen Dysgu Seiliedig ar Waith yn cael ei harchwilio gan Wasanaeth Sicrwydd a Llywodraethu Darparwyr (PAGS) Llywodraeth Cymru.  Roedd yr adolygiad diwethaf, a gynhaliwyd ym mis Tachwedd 2010, yn adolygiad llawn o'r systemau a phrofwyd y data hefyd.  Daeth yr adolygiad llawn o'r systemau i'r casgliad bod gan  A4e system gadarn o reolaeth fewnol ar gyllid Dysgu Seiliedig ar Waith.  Ni amlygodd y profion data unrhyw wallau.  

Serch hynny, er mwyn bod yn gwbl sicr, dechreuodd PAGS ar un o'i archwiliadau arferol ar 5 Mawrth 2012\.  Diben yr archwiliad yw bod yn siŵr bod A4e wedi defnyddio cyllid Llywodraeth Cymru mewn modd sy'n gydnaws â dibenion yr arian ac yn gydnaws â'r amodau a roddwyd ar yr arian hwnnw.  Dywedodd yr Adran Gwaith a Phensiynau ei bod, ar hyn o bryd, yn fodlon parhau gyda'i threfniadau contract gydag A4e.  

Mae tîm PAGS hefyd yn cysylltu â Swyddfa Cyllid Ewropeaidd Cymru (WEFO) a'r Gronfa Loteri Fawr er mwyn gweithredu ar y cyd ac fel bod y sicrwydd a gafwyd yn cael ei rannu â'r partneriaid ariannu cyhoeddus, gan gynnwys WEFO yn achos y cyllid Ewropeaidd.
