A formal internal scrutiny programme is a requirement in the education sector to provide independent assurance to trustees and audit committees over financial and non-financial controls.

Our internal scrutiny reviews can be termly or annually, to suit your requirements, and are risk based and tailored to suit your trust’s size and risk profile.

The scope is driven by communication with the trustees to identify key risks and encompasses a comprehensive review of financial controls, governance & compliance and operational effectiveness.

You will receive clear, concise reports designed to inform your leadership team and trustees. It will contain an independent overview of key risks and priorities, our findings and recommendations – graded low to high risk, practical improvements and follow up reviews to monitor progress
