External auditing activity - 22-23 Apprenticeship Funding Rules

Created

Hi all

Just wondering if any provider has been externally audited against 22-23 starts yet, given that we are in our eighth funding period?  

If so, could they share any intelligence regarding the auditors' approach to the 4 week rule and related BILs?  I suspect the lack of DSAT audit sampler function may have impacted this years audit activity all around.

Many thanks in advance

Ben

Yes, anecdotally, I'm pretty sure there haven't been any yet for precisely the reason you mention, although I think our audit colleagues were top of the list when access to the sampler was being doled out, so suspect it won't be long...

Thanks Steve.  I don't currently have visibility of the online DSAT; has the audit sampler reappeared?

Just checked and I don't currently have it, although they are rolling it out 100 providers at a time apparently...
