Providing external assurance on subcontracting controls

September 2022 update 

Assurance Reviews of the subcontracting standard for post 16 providers (framework and guide for reporting accountants) August 2022 has now been released to support the Subcontracting Standard - subcontracting assurance arrangements for all post 16 providers (July 22). 

 

In response to the new guidance,  Per4mance Solutions Ltd and DSA Prospect Ltd have reviewed our partnership approach to subcontractor assurance for 22-23.  Given the requirement in the new guidance for providers to contract directly with an accountancy firm, we have consolidated all of our end-to-end processes (from engagement to certification) and the P4S associate team have moved to work directly under our long term partner DSA Prospect Ltd.  All reviews are now contracted directly through our long term partner
