Compliance Audits
Independent, practical audits designed to give you a clear picture of your compliance. We identify risks early and help demonstrate to regulators that you operate safely, responsibly, and with confidence.
We offer a wide range of audits tailored to your needs, including maintenance, drivers’ hours, and workshop audits. These can support internal improvements, provide assistance during a Public Inquiry, or meet requirements set by the Traffic Commissioner as part of your licence undertakings.
A compliance audit is a structured, on-site review of your transport operation, carried out by an experienced auditor. It assesses how your systems and procedures operate in practice and provides clear, practical guidance on compliance and best practice where any shortcomings are identified.
Following the visit, you’ll receive a detailed written report, a concise summary for quick reference, and a clear action plan setting out the steps required. For clients who undertake regular audits, we also provide a comparison report showing progress since the previous audit.
Our audits are tailored to your specific needs, from targeted reviews of existing systems for internal quality assurance to comprehensive compliance audits suitable for Public Inquiries or Traffic Commissioner licence undertakings.
All audits are aligned with current Traffic Commissioner and DVSA guidance and typically cover key areas such as maintenance arrangements and drivers’ hours compliance. This includes vehicle safety inspections, defect reporting, tachograph management, training, quality monitoring, and wider operator licensing responsibilities. Whether you’re seeking reassurance or meeting formal regulatory requirements, our audits give you a clear understanding of your current position and practical guidance on what to do next.
Regular auditing helps demonstrate ongoing compliance, track improvements over time, and provide clear evidence that your operation is being managed safely, legally, and responsibly. Many operators also see added benefits in improved efficiency, stronger systems, and better cost control.
