1st Pillar – Operations for Education

Internal Scrutiny Service

Let 1st Pillar be your independent assurance partner to deliver your Internal Scrutiny.

We will;

Agree at least two areas of focus to review in the academic year
Carry out two on site visits to review the areas of focus
Provide a written report to the Audit and Risk Committee
Provide an amalgamated report to the Audit and Risk Committee at the end of the year for submission to the DfE.

As an indicative cost from 1st Pillar Limited, a stand alone Academy receiving two onsite visits, two reports to Trustees, and an amalgamated report for submission to the DfE, will cost £1,500 (plus VAT). Additional charges may be made depending on the size of the Trust, the complexity of the work required, the reporting requirements of the Board and the location of the Trust. Please contact us to chat about your needs and receive a quotation.

"3.1 All Academies must have a programme of Internal Scrutiny to provide independent assurance to the board that its financial and non financial controls, and risk management procedures are operating effectively"
