Penodwyd Ymgynghorwyr i gynnal archwiliad o sefyllfa ariannol y Cyngor, ac i ddarparu safbwynt annibynnol, a dilysiad allanol, o ran cadernid ei gynlluniau ariannol a phrosesau i gefnogi’r rheini. Hefyd, gofynnwyd i’r Ymgynghorwyr asesu rhaglen waith y Cyngor ar y trawsnewid er mwyn gwneud yn siŵr ei bod yn addas i’r diben. Yn bwysicach fyth, gofynnwyd i’r Ymgynghorwyr wneud asesiad i weld a oedd gan y Cyngor, yn eu barn hwy, y gallu a’r capasiti i wireddu’r gwelliannau angenrheidiol heb yr her a chymorth allanol.
Advisors were appointed to carry out a health-check of the Council’s financial position, and to provide an independent perspective on, and external validation of, the robustness of its financial planning and the processes supporting it.  The Advisors were also asked to assess the Council’s transformation work programme, to ensure it was fit for purpose.  Most importantly, the Advisors were asked to make an assessment of whether, in their view, the Council had the capability and capacity to deliver the necessary improvements without external support and challenge.
