English: Thank you very much, Dirprwy Lywydd. I am very pleased to be able to move this motion today on behalf of the Finance Committee, and ask the Senedd to agree to appoint Lindsay Foyster as chair of the Wales Audit Office board, of course, in accordance with the Public Audit (Wales) Act 2013. Lindsay Foyster has vast experience of operating at board level within both the third and public sectors, including over five years as a non-executive member of the Wales Audit Office board and over 25 years of senior executive experience at board level in the third sector. Lindsay is also an accomplished chair, with extensive experience of chairing across many organisations and settings in both the third and public sectors. Now, Members may also wish to note that the committee's report on the appointment of the non-executive members and chair of the WAO provides further details on the recruitment process, including the new appointments of Ian Rees and Elinor Gwynn as non-executive members, and the appointment of Alison Gerrard on her second term as non-executive member. I would also like to place on record the committee's thanks to the outgoing chair, Isobel Everett, and recognise her invaluable contribution since the Wales Audit Office was established in 2013. Isobel's stewardship of the board has been characterised by innovation, collaboration and increasing the credibility and visibility of the Wales Audit Office, and she leaves it on a strong footing for those who follow. I would also like to take this opportunity to acknowledge Bill Richardson's valuable contribution to the Wales Audit Office over the past three years, as he stands down from his role as non-executive member. And with those few words, I ask the Senedd to agree the motion. Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn, Dirprwy Lywydd. Rwy'n falch iawn o gael cyflwyno'r cynnig yma heddiw ar ran y Pwyllgor Cyllid, a gofyn i'r Senedd gytuno i benodi Lindsay Foyster yn gadeirydd ar fwrdd Swyddfa Archwilio Cymru, a hynny, wrth gwrs, yn unol â Deddf Archwilio Cyhoeddus (Cymru) 2013. Mae gan Lindsay Foyster brofiad helaeth o weithredu ar lefel bwrdd yn y trydydd sector ac yn y sector cyhoeddus, gan gynnwys dros bum mlynedd fel aelod anweithredol o fwrdd Swyddfa Archwilio Cymru a mwy na chwarter canrif o brofiad gweithredol ar lefel bwrdd yn y trydydd sector. Mae Lindsay hefyd yn gadeirydd medrus, gyda phrofiad helaeth o gadeirio ar draws sawl sefydliad ac mewn gwahanol sefyllfaoedd yn y trydydd sector ac yn y sector cyhoeddus. Mi fydd yr Aelodau hefyd yn dymuno nodi bod adroddiad y pwyllgor ar benodi aelodau anweithredol a chadeirydd Swyddfa Archwilio Cymru yn rhoi manylion pellach am y broses recriwtio, gan gynnwys penodi Ian Rees ac Elinor Gwynn fel aelodau anweithredol newydd, a phenodi Alison Gerrard i'w hail dymor fel aelod anweithredol. Hefyd, mi hoffwn roi ar gofnod pa mor ddiolchgar yw'r pwyllgor i Isobel Everett wrth iddi, wrth gwrs, adael ei rôl fel cadeirydd, a chydnabod ei chyfraniad gwerthfawr hi ers sefydlu Swyddfa Archwilio Cymru yn 2013. Mae Isobel wedi arwain y bwrdd mewn ffordd arloesol, ac wedi gwneud hynny yn seiliedig ar gydweithrediad ac mewn modd, wrth gwrs, sydd wedi gwneud Swyddfa Archwilio Cymru yn gorff mwy gweledol ac uchel ei barch. Mae'r corff ar sylfaen gref i'r rhai a fydd yn ei dilyn hi. Hefyd, mi hoffwn i achub ar y cyfle yma i gydnabod cyfraniad pwysig Bill Richardson tuag at y swyddfa archwilio dros y tair blynedd nesaf, wrth iddo fe adael ei rôl fel aelod anweithredol. A chyda hynny o eiriau, felly, Dirprwy Lywydd, dwi'n gofyn i'r Senedd dderbyn y cynnig. Diolch.
