Risk profiles 2011 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.

Last year we undertook a review of our pilot of profiling, which led to some minor changes to our policy Prioritising our regulatory activity . This review process means that the update of profiles was delayed until now. From 2012 onwards, profiles will be updated annually in October after we have received all statement of accounts over £250,000.

Returns data 2007 - 2010 Next update October 2012

Key Financial risk This indicates the financial scale, cash flow and past accounting accuracy of the party. We weight these indicators to produce criteria a rating of A, B or C for each party. A rating of ‘C’ may indicate, for instance, a party with high levels of debt that has had its Profiled A-C recent statements of accounts qualified by an auditor. A ‘B’ rating may be a relatively high-income party with no material inaccuracies in its recent accounts. An ‘A’ rating will indicate a low-income party. Compliance risk criteria This indicates a party’s level of compliance with their statutory obligations over a period of three years. The levels of Profiled high, compliance are broadly categorised as being either ‘high’, ‘medium’ or ‘low’. medium or low Operational risk criteria This helps to illustrate the scale of a party’s activity and therefore how significant the impact of a failure to comply with the Profiled 1-5 regulatory requirements might be. The higher the number is the larger the scale of operation a party has.
