Dear Wales Audit Office,
I hope you can help. I am looking to find out information relating to recruitment specifically in your Accounts and HR teams.

The information I require is detailed below:
• How many members of staff are in you Accounts / Finance team?
• Can you provide an organisational chart for this team?
• How many members of staff are in your HR & Recruitment team?
• Can you provide an organisational chart for this team?
• What was your agency spend in 2018 and do you have a predicted spend in 2019? If you could be specific to the Accounts and HR teams that would be preferable.
• What recruitment framework are you part of and what agencies do you use?

Thank you in advance for the information.

Yours faithfully,
