Compliance Audits

The Transport Manager CPC is a recognised qualification for anyone responsible for the management of HGV or PSV operations. You need it to meet the legal requirements for holding an Operator Licence.

What is a Transport Compliance Audit?

A Transport Compliance Audit is an in-depth review of your operation to ensure you meet the standards required under your Operator Licence. Our auditors assess your systems, procedures, and record-keeping to confirm that your business remains compliant with DVSA and Traffic Commissioner expectations.

Whether you operate HGVs, PSVs, or both, regular audits provide assurance that your transport activities remain safe, efficient, and legally compliant.

Why a Compliance Audit Matters

Compliance audits are a legal safeguard. They highlight areas of risk before they attract attention from the DVSA or Traffic Commissioner.

Audits help you:
  • Demonstrate compliance for your Operator Licence.
  • Identify weaknesses before they become issues.
  • Prepare for DVSA or public inquiries.
  • Improve safety, performance, and record accuracy.
All study materials, tutor support, and exam registration are included in the course fee.

Reporting and Outcomes

Following your audit, you’ll receive a detailed written report outlining:
  • Areas of full compliance
  • Issues or risks identified
  • Recommended actions to resolve them

FAQs

Most operators benefit from an annual audit, though higher-risk operators may require more frequent reviews.

No, your report is confidential, though you can present it to demonstrate proactive compliance.

Yes. Our auditors visit your premises to review records and meet your transport team directly.

Your transport manager should be involved. It helps if drivers, workshop supervisors and anyone responsible for record keeping attend parts of the audit too. Auditors often want to speak with the people doing the work so they can see how procedures operate in practice.

Start by gathering key documents: current Operator Licence, vehicle and driver lists, maintenance records, defect reports, and driver hours/tachograph records. Make sure your files are easy to read and complete. If you use digital systems, have access set up so auditors can view records.

The time depends on your licence size and complexity of your operation. Smaller fleets with organised records can complete an audit in a day. Larger operations or those with multiple sites may take longer.
