A Compliance Audit is a comprehensive review of your organisation’s sponsor licence compliance framework. It identifies breaches, risks, and gaps in your processes, ensuring your business meets the requirements outlined in the UKVI Sponsor Guidance.

You need one because non-compliance can lead to serious consequences, including licence suspension, revocation, or penalties. A Compliance Audit provides clarity, helps you avoid costly mistakes, and safeguards your business for the long term.

A Compliance Audit is a proactive, internal review conducted by our experts to identify and address potential issues before the Home Office gets involved. It’s your chance to fix vulnerabilities and strengthen your systems.

A Home Office inspection, on the other hand, is an official review where they evaluate your compliance. By undergoing a Compliance Audit first, you can be fully prepared and confident for any scrutiny.

To ensure a thorough review, you’ll need to provide:

• Employee and sponsored worker files, including right-to-work checks.
• Recruitment records, such as job adverts and interview notes.
• Payroll and salary records.
• Organisational structure diagrams.
• Details of any changes submitted to the Sponsor Management System (SMS).

Our team will guide you on what’s needed and assist with preparing the documentation.

We pride ourselves on speed and efficiency. Once we receive the necessary documents, our team can deliver the audit findings within a matter of days. For urgent cases, such as pending Home Office inspections or responses to suspension letters, we offer expedited services to ensure you’re fully prepared in time.
