The purpose of this statement is to inform Members of action I am taking with regard to the activities of the Regeneration Investment Fund for Wales. In Autumn 2012 the Wales Audit Office (WAO) announced that it was undertaking a value for money study into the disposal of land assets vested in the Fund by the Welsh Government. This was followed by a further announcement by the WAO that it was broadening the scope of its study to encompass the aims, governance and operations of RIFW, including its ongoing business, together with consideration of the effectiveness of the Welsh Government’s oversight arrangements for the Fund.  Following this widening of the WAO investigation the Welsh Government instructed Amber Fund Management who manage the Fund on our behalf to pause the Fund’s activities.
