Providing Internal Scrutiny

Education-focused internal scrutiny aligned to your risk register, covering both financial compliance and wider trust controls.

How we support you

Service overview

As experts in finance and education, we offer an internal scrutiny service that effectively covers both financial and non-financial risks. We work with your Audit and Risk Committee, responding to your risk register, to ensure that our service is responsive to the needs of your trust.

We offer a range of financial audits, including procurement, operations, systems, monthly financial closedown and compliance with the Academy Trust Handbook. We also offer a wide range of other audits that address the risks identified by the trust's risk register.

We can develop a scope for any risk, but our non-financial scrutiny work may include:

  • Safeguarding review
  • Attendance review
  • Governance review
  • GDPR review
  • Pupil Premium Reviews
  • Estates review

We have developed our cyber security offer in response to growing demand and can now extend our cyber security scrutinies to provide guidance around Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus.
