What you get
Arms-length bodies, executive agencies, devolved bodies, local authorities, NHS-adjacent organisations and the recipients of grant funding from BEIS, DLUHC, the lottery distributors and the devolved governments. Anyone whose spending eventually gets read by a select committee, an auditor general or the public.
Grant certification, internal audit and value-for-money reviews delivered against the standards public-money bodies are measured against — and documented so they hold up to NAO, Ofsted or DLUHC follow-up. We work to the PSIAS where engagements call for it.
Procurement compliance under the Procurement Act 2023, contract review, conflicts of interest registers and the governance scaffolding ALBs and grant recipients need to evidence — practical, not performative.
Counter-fraud reviews, risk-register design and the controls work that follows when something has gone wrong. We work alongside in-house teams to remediate without creating bureaucracy that outlives the original issue.
Annual governance statements, accounting officer letters of representation and the financial sections of annual reports — supported with the workings funders and auditors expect.
