Compliance Audit Support

Businesses involved in international trade will be subject to regular customs audits performed by HMRC. To assist, we carry out pre-audit preparation for HMRC visits and provide support whilst the audit takes place.

We can also assist with remote audits on specific areas of customs matters. This mitigates unnecessary stress, allowing you to focus on core business activities.

Customs Compliance Review

We provide alternative audit services in the form of system health-checks to ensure your business is compliant with the rules and regulations laid down by HMRC. Sample documentation is appraised, processes tested, and a report is provided with full information on any changes required to ensure fully compliant audit trails are in place. This incorporates the whole supply chain from procurement to payment.

Businesses must ensure they have documented all customs procedures. We can assist with the drafting, formatting, reviewing and testing of this documentation as an additional service.
