A Transport Commissioner Audit is an independent review of your transport operation's compliance with operator licence conditions and statutory requirements. Whether you're facing a public inquiry, operating under an undertaking, or taking proactive steps to protect your licence, this audit provides the evidence and action plan you need.
Over 82% of public inquiries result in mandatory audit requirements. Our audit helps you meet Traffic Commissioner expectations, demonstrate good repute and avoid the severe consequences of non-compliance including licence revocation, curtailment or director disqualification.
We assess your systems against the Earned Recognition Standards expected by Traffic Commissioners, identify compliance gaps and provide a clear roadmap for improvement that satisfies regulatory requirements.
With over 20 years in transport compliance and training, Lloyd Morgan Group provides audit services trusted by Traffic Commissioners and operators nationwide.
A Transport Commissioner Audit is an independent assessment of your transport operation's compliance with operator licence conditions, vehicle maintenance standards, drivers' hours regulations and transport manager responsibilities. It identifies compliance gaps and provides recommendations to meet Traffic Commissioner expectations.
You need an audit if you've been called to a public inquiry, are operating under an audit undertaking, have received regulatory warnings, or want to proactively protect your licence. Many operators also commission annual audits to maintain compliance confidence and avoid escalation to formal proceedings.
Traffic Commissioner guidance states auditors should be independent, hold Transport Manager CPC qualification (or recent refresher), have minimum 2 years industry experience, complete 70 hours CPD every 5 years, and preferably hold ISO 9001:2015 certification. Lloyd Morgan Group meets all these requirements.
Audit duration depends on fleet size, number of operating centres and complexity of operations. Typical audits range from one day for smaller operators to several days for large, multi-site operations. We'll provide a time estimate once we understand your specific requirements.
You receive a comprehensive written report detailing findings, non-compliance areas and prioritised recommendations with timescales. We can provide ongoing support to help you implement improvements and, where required, prepare follow-up evidence for submission to the Traffic Commissioner.
While no audit can guarantee outcomes at a public inquiry, a professionally conducted audit demonstrates your commitment to compliance, identifies and rectifies issues, and provides documented evidence of improvement – all factors Traffic Commissioners consider favourably when assessing good repute and competence.
