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 Find out more about our policy and risk profiles on our website at: http://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/party-finance/enforcement/risk- Key Financial risk This indicates the financial scale, cash flow and past accounting accuracy of the party. We weight these indicators to criteria produce 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 Profiled A-C that has had its 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 all other parties. 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 Profiled 1-5 with the regulatory requirements might be. The higher the number is the larger the scale of operation a party has.
