Risk management
Risk identification, treatment and monitoring for education providers, including the risks regulators weight most heavily.
Finding the risks specific to your delivery, cohort and partners rather than a generic list.
Controls proportionate to the risk, with an owner and a date.
Review that catches a control which has quietly stopped working.
We list these publicly because most of the value of an adviser is knowing which mistakes are common, and that knowledge is not worth hiding.
A risk register updated annually for the auditor does not influence any decision.
Risks around student outcomes, financial viability and governance are weighted more heavily than operational inconvenience.
Including when the answer is that you do not need the engagement you asked for. An adviser who never says that is not giving you information, they are giving you an invoice.
We advise on regulation and practice. Where a matter needs a legal opinion or a financial audit, we will say so and stop rather than improvise.
Describe the situation. If it is outside what we do, we will tell you that and point you at who does.
