Operator Compliance Audits

As stated by the Traffic Commissioners of Great Britain, operator licence holders are legally required to have robust systems in place to ensure the safe and lawful operation of their vehicles. Independent audits are a critical tool for operators to proactively test the effectiveness of these systems, identify weaknesses, and demonstrate a genuine commitment to future compliance. By commissioning an audit, you can mitigate the need for regulatory action against your licence.

Our Expertise and Credentials

Verrdi Transport Consultancy Ltd. is uniquely positioned to assist you with this vital function. We hold ISO 9001:2015 certification, which is an international standard for a Quality Management System (QMS) that ensures our processes meet regulatory requirements and deliver consistent, high-quality services. We also serve as an approved Earned Recognition Auditor.

When selecting an auditor, the Traffic Commissioners recommend that operators consider the individual's qualifications. While ISO 9001 certification is an excellent indicator, direct industry experience is equally valuable. Our auditors hold the Transport Manager Certificate of Professional Competence (TM CPC), maintain up-to-date CPD (Continuing Professional Development), and have a clear licensing history. These credentials ensure we provide a reliable, impartial, and accurate service.

Why You May Need an Audit

Beyond routine compliance checks, an audit may be required in the event of an investigation by the DVSA or a public inquiry initiated by the Traffic Commissioner. A public inquiry is a formal tribunal hearing where the Traffic Commissioner reviews an operator's fitness to hold a licence. Whatever the reason, our nationwide network of auditors is available to conduct a practical and impartial assessment of your operation.

We provide honest advice and clear recommendations on the policies, processes, and systems that need to be implemented or improved to protect your Operator's Licence. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge and tools to maintain compliance and secure the future of your business.
