Top tips on preparing for an Audit Commission Inspection.
Inspection Top Tips
- Start your preparations early. It may seem like you have plenty of time, but the run up to the inspection will go much quicker than you anticipate.
- Give a strong focus to internal communications. Your staff are the ambassadors of your organisation.
- Make real changes so that improvements can be clearly seen.
- Communicate everyone’s role within the inspection process clearly.
- Have positive, realistic expectations of the outcome.
- Embrace change. Just because something has always been done a certain way in the past doesn’t mean it’s the best way.
