ESOS Audit

A decisive assessment of what
you need for re-registration

Regulatory compliance is always a high-stakes exercise; even more so as scrutiny on education providers continues to grow.

Edified's ESOS Audit can review and assess your activities for ESOS compliance and relieve much of the pressure of your people. We can deliver a clear plan for improvement, often far more quickly than if it’s done internally. We’re independent, so we provide an objective assessment you can rely on. We have an in-depth, sector-wide knowledge of the national standard – and we know well what TEQSA’s expectations are, so we can help you streamline your re-registration process.

Although ESOS is a complex area, we prioritise clarity and simplicity by assessing every compliance factor in detail, but distilling the results into an easy-to-action scorecard.

You’ll be able to see where you’re already well placed to be compliant, and exactly the areas that need immediate remedial action. To make this even easier to visualise, we include with every rating specific examples of what’s working and what’s not.

Nothing’s missed. We cover every aspect of the compliance framework, from marketing and recruitment practices to enrolment procedures, student support to complaints and appeals.

And while we weigh up all the readily available evidence – on desktop, on campus and in discussions with you – we also interrogate stakeholders across your ecosystem, so we can give you a more detailed and nuanced assessment than you’ll find elsewhere.
