UK IMMIGRATION COMPLIANCE AUDITS
Mock Home Office Audits for Your Business
Are you concerned about your company’s compliance with UK immigration regulations? A Mock Immigration Audit can help ensure you’re fully prepared for an official Home Office inspection, minimising risks to your business.
At Immtell, we specialise in conducting thorough immigration audits that simulate real inspections, giving your business the insight needed to stay compliant and avoid hefty fines or penalties.
All mock Home Office audits are led by our Director, Gavin Webster, who brings invaluable experience from his previous role as a Home Office Compliance Officer. His deep understanding of compliance regulations and insider knowledge ensures that your audit is thorough and provides you with actionable insights and guidance tailored to your needs.
Why Conduct a Mock Immigration Audit?
A mock Home Office audit is a proactive step to assess your company’s immigration processes and procedures. With the Home Office increasingly focusing on sponsor compliance, businesses employing foreign nationals must follow stringent legal obligations. Failure to do so can result in civil penalties, revocation of sponsor licenses, and reputational damage.
By conducting an audit, we help you:
- Identify potential gaps in your immigration compliance.
- Avoid costly penalties or loss of your sponsorship license.
- Ensure all records and procedures meet Home Office requirements.
- Protect your business from potential disruptions.
What Does the Mock Immigration Audit Cover?
Our mock immigration compliance audits review all the key areas of your compliance, including:
- Right to Work Checks
We ensure that your business follows proper procedures for checking employees' eligibility to work in the UK. We will review your document verification process and recommend improvements to avoid employing illegal workers. - Record Keeping and Reporting
The Home Office requires businesses to maintain detailed records on all sponsored workers. We assess your filing systems, record-keeping practices, and ensure you meet all reporting requirements. - Immigration Policies and Procedures
We evaluate your internal policies related to immigration compliance. This includes how your business tracks visa expirations, keeps up-to-date with changing laws, and manages sponsored employees. - Sponsor Licence Compliance
If you hold a Home Office sponsor licence, our audit will focus on your compliance with sponsorship duties. We will review how well your business is meeting its responsibilities, such as reporting employee changes to the Home Office. - Personnel Files Review
We inspect your personnel files to make sure all relevant information, like visa documentation and right-to-work checks, is stored correctly and securely.
What Happens After the Audit?
Following the Home Office mock audit, we provide a detailed report highlighting any areas of non-compliance, potential risks, and practical solutions to improve your procedures. If gaps are found, we will work closely with your team to implement the necessary corrective measures, ensuring that your business meets all legal obligations.
We also offer ongoing support to keep your business compliant even after the audit.
