What the issue is

An internal or solicitor-led mock audit reviews records, processes and staff knowledge against the sponsor guidance.

Why it matters

It allows remediation before an external visit and documents a commitment to compliance.

When advice may be appropriate

A solicitor-led audit can consider legal risk and whether any issue should be addressed with the Home Office.

Common failures

  • Audit findings recorded but not acted upon.

Evidence to keep

Examples to consider where relevant — not a complete or mandatory list.

  • Audit reports and remediation actions.

Practical preventative steps

  • Track each finding to closure.
