Monitoring
Auditing
We will manage risk through routine auditing each approved partner by:
- Completing technical reviews of a sample of applications from each partner (expected to approximately 1 in every 10 projects and a minimum of 1 review within every 6 month period)
- Increasing or extending the frequency of technical reviews based on findings, recording the reason for decisions on our records
- Sharing technical review findings with the professional partner
- Working with the partner to ensure they understand any concerns raised in technical reviews and address them appropriately going forward
- Removing a partner from the programme if they:
- fail to address the concerns found, or
- one or more of the situations below are identified during the review or any other time.
