What happens after the audit visits?
Once the audit visits have been completed, the audit team will prepare a draft report covering the quality of advice and process elements of the audit. The report will contain their findings and indicate whether or not the agency has fulfilled the requirements of the Standards. The agency will then be sent a copy of the report, with a time period within which they can comment on any factual corrections required. Once the report has been agreed, a bound version will be sent to the agency together with a letter formally notifying them of the audit outcome. If the agency is found to have fulfilled the requirements of the Standards, a Certificate of Accreditation will either be included or arrangements for a formal presentation discussed.
