The WATs are independent charitable trusts, part funded by the Welsh Assembly Government to provide regional archaeological services. Some additional financial support is provided by a number of the local authorities. The Royal Commission for Ancient and Historic Monuments in Wales provides task specific grant aid for maintaining and enhancing the HERs, while funding to support public enquiries is provided by Cadw.

The Welsh SMRs, being operated by the WATs and therefore outside local authorities, have kept the same geographical boundaries since their inception in the 1970s. Originally concieved to cover the then newly created counties of 1974 the SMRs have continued to provided services to sucessive county, district and, since 1996 unitary authorites, under partnership arrangements and with each authority adopting the relevant SMR by formal resolution. Dislocation due to local government re-organisation has therefore been largely avoided in Wales.

The Welsh Assembly Government, through Cadw, encouraged the Welsh Archaeological Trusts to secure the HERs as publicly accessible records should any Trust cease to operate. Accordingly each record and its assets are now held by a separate charitable Trust, administered by the Trustees of the four Welsh Archaeological Trusts. Alongside this Cadw, through the Strategic Framework for Historic Environment Records in Wales, has recognised the HER Benchmarks for Good Practice (Chitty 2002) and funding for the HERs from the RCAHMW has been targeted to enable Welsh HERs in the first instance to achieve the stage one benchmarks. A new Herutage Bill is expected for Wales in 2014-15 which will consider the statutory status of Welsh HERs.
