Why Regular Compliance Audits Matter for Northampton Operators

A professional audit offers far more than a regulatory check—it strengthens your entire operation:
✅ Maintain Regulatory Compliance – Align fully with the latest DVSA licensing requirements, driver hours rules, tachograph regulations, and the Guide to Maintaining Roadworthiness. This encompasses all vehicles in your fleet of trucks, coaches, minibuses, or limousines.
✅ Enhance Safety — Proactively lower risks to protect your drivers, passengers, and the public through thorough compliance assessments.
✅ Boost Operational Efficiency — Optimise routes, fuel consumption, and maintenance schedules to increase profitability and reliability.
✅ Manage Risks Proactively — Identify and resolve compliance weaknesses before they threaten your Operator Licence or business success.

Is Your OCRS Score Showing Red?
A red Operator Compliance Risk Score means your operation is flagged for heightened DVSA scrutiny. Our audits reveal the root causes of non-compliance, implement fixes, and help restore a green status, securing your Northampton licence and business stability.

Concerned About a DVSA Desk-Based Assessment?
A Desk-Based Assessment (DBA) is a remote audit by the DVSA evaluating your compliance management and records. Failing to meet requirements can lead to licence suspension, fines, or warnings. Proactively conducting independent audits ensures gaps are fixed beforehand, reducing the risk of enforcement action and DBA calls.

Preparedness for Driver Conduct Hearings
Driver compliance directly affects your licence and operations. Our audits support you by demonstrating rigorous compliance systems, identifying weaknesses early, aiding mitigation efforts, and protecting your reputation.
