Due Diligence Audits

Avoiding the attention of the police and local authority relieves the pressure on hard pressed licensees.  Licensing Authorities are required to carry out inspections on a risk assessed basis and so adopt a scoring mechanism to assess the need for action.  Having the correct policies and staff training, properly documented, lowers the scores on those risk assessments and so reduces the probability of repeated inspections by the regulatory authorities. Should you wish it, AB Licensing Solutions will carry out “due diligence” audits of your premises to ensure compliance with the legislation and best practice and thus reduce costly hearings or prosecutions.

The audit will include a review of all licensable activities to ensure that the correct authorities and policies are in place.  We will advise on risk areas and suggest cost effective remedies.

AB Licensing Solutions also has contact with a number of specialist advisors who are able to carry out specific roles e.g. fire safety and noise audits.

Due diligence audits will normally cost in the region of £200 (depending on the type of premises).  Specialist advice may be in addition to the audit costs.
