Risk profiles 2012 update

We have developed formal processes to enable us to deploy our resources more effectively. This includes the generation of risk profiles to inform our audit strategy. These profiles bring together various different pieces of information relating to parties’ financial characteristics, level of compliance with statutory obligations and scale of operation. Similar profiles are developed for accounting units with either income or expenditure over £100,000.

Returns data 2009 - 2011 Next update October 2013

A ‘B’ rating may be a relatively high-income party with no material inaccuracies in its recent accounts. An ‘A’ rating will indicate all other parties. Compliance risk criteria This indicates a party’s level of compliance with their statutory obligations over a period of three years.
