‘TSO Education just completed our first term internal audit. Highly recommended.’
Steve Warren, St Nicolas CE Combined School Taplow
The latest version of the Academy Trust Handbook includes an expectation that there is a clear separation between the provider of the EXTERNAL annual audit and the provider of INTERNAL scrutiny.
The Academies Finance Handbook states that:
‘All academy trusts must have a programme of internal scrutiny to provide independent assurance to the board that its financial and others controls, and risk management procedures, are operating effectively.’
TSO Education offer a range of levels of Internal Scrutiny from a full management level, which undertakes the complete function of managing the risk register and liaising with the Audit Committee, to supplying an auditor – a member of the Chartered Institute of Internal Auditors – to undertake internal audit to your schedule.
Our 2022-2023 Internal Scrutiny brochure can be found here.
