10:00 - 11:00 , 04/03/2025

AELP Webinar

Facilitator: Rupert Crossland, Director of Audit and Compliance, Professional Assessment Limited (PAL)

 

Overview

This webinar will help delegates understand the auditor's perspective of the subcontracting standard assurance journey, from self-assessment and external audit, through to ESFA evaluation and outcome. We will consider the requirements of the auditor to enable providers to meet that expectation and facilitate a successful outcome when being assessed against the requirements of the subcontracting standard.

Objectives

To offer support on the following issues:

  • Familiarisation with the self-assessment document;
  • Understanding when next to self-assess and to schedule audit of the self-assessment
  • Focussing attention on key points from the assessment;
  • Learning from experiences of subcontracting standard audits completed;
  • Establishing the ESFA evaluation process.
