Independent assurance that gives your board insights and confidence.

Academy trusts are expected to have a programme of internal scrutiny, giving the board independent confidence that its controls, risk management and governance are sound.

Wbg provides internal audit for academy trusts that’s more than just an exercise. We give boards and audit committees the clear, credible view they need to govern well and to keep driving improvements.

What our internal audit covers

Risk-based audit programmes

We build a programme of scrutiny around the areas that carry the most risk for your trust.

Financial controls review

We test the controls that protect your funds and flag where they can be tightened.

Governance and compliance

We assess governance against the Academy Trust Handbook and help you meet the expectations placed on the board.

Fraud and financial risk

We review your exposure to fraud and financial loss, and the safeguards you have in place.

Audit committee support

We provide clear reporting that helps your audit committee and board discharge their duties with confidence.
