CPC are delighted to announce the launch of the new Audit Services Framework. This is replacing the hugely successful expired framework which over 150 CPC members utilised.
These are challenging times for the FE sector amidst budget cuts and area reviews, meaning that it’s even more important that Colleges select the right audit partners to safeguard their institution and provide assurance for stakeholders and Governors.
The new framework delivers seventeen highly experienced education audit firms providing CPC members with even more choice than has been available under previous frameworks.
There is a substantive mix of market leading nationally recognised audit services providers as well as a number of regional providers to meet the wide ranging needs of CPC members.
The new framework is split into two lots as per the table below:
| Suppliers | Lot 1 Internal Audit | Lot 2 External Audit | East Anglia | East Midlands | London | North East | North West | Scotland | South East | South West | Wales | West Midlands | Yorkshire | Northern Ireland | Other |
