Adams Integra provides two forms of audit – a “Health Check” and a Compliance Audit.
We are well known for providing advice, help and assistance to registered provider development departments; we work with the Homes and Communities Agency and understand fully the requirements of the regulators.
Adams Integra have provided a “Health Check” – a voluntary compliance audit of Development Departments for many years but now, in response to the Homes and Communities Agency’s new self certification regime, we provide the Compliance Audit.
Whichever audit is required we agree with our client a timetable for the audit of the individual schemes and attend a scoping meeting to discuss how the audit will progress.
On satisfactory completion of the audit we provide a report to the association and, where appropriate or required, certification to the Homes and Communities Agency.
At all times we discuss our findings with the client and, of course, we will not communicate any aspect of it to another party without our client’s knowledge and agreement. We will report immediately any significant issues which we feel should be drawn to the client’s attention.
- Project risk assessment
- Board reporting
- Scheme appraisals
- Compliance with Homes and Communities Agency Capital Funding
- Guide and Scheme Development Standards
- Compliance with the registered provider standing orders and finance
- Regulations and good practice
- Tendering procedures and monitoring and performance indicators including OJEU
- Compliance with internal and external procedures
- Sustainability, HQIs and EcoHomes
We examine issues of probity, accountability and certification in the commissioning and managing of the development programme.
In the course of the review due regard will be given to the adoption of good practice.
By combining the Health Check and the Compliance Audit we can offer a fully comprehensive examination of the whole development process.
