Planning Your Internal Scrutiny Programme
Posted By: SBM Services on June 21, 2026SBM Services is now taking bookings for its 2026/27 internal scrutiny programme. Every academy trust must have a programme of internal scrutiny that gives the board independent assurance that its financial and non-financial controls and risk management procedures are working effectively, as set out in the Academy Trust Handbook.
Our education sector specialists work with trustees and executive leaders to design a programme focused on your trust’s greatest risks. Reviews cover financial operations, funding compliance, personnel, data protection, governance, estate management and more, with clear reporting that highlights strengths alongside practical recommendations.
Standard reviews start from £1,090 + VAT. Trusts booking for September to December 2026 can benefit from preferential autumn term pricing, starting from £995 + VAT.
Arrange a complimentary, no obligation planning meeting to design a programme tailored to your trust. Get in touch at info@sbmservices.co.uk or call 01206 671103
