EXISTING APPROVAL HOLDERS
ROVER audit readiness for existing approval holders
An approval is supported by the evidence, records and practices behind it.
ROVER Pro helps you review agreed parts of your compliance arrangements, identify gaps and organise the actions needed to address them.
Preparing before an audit
A proactive review gives your business an opportunity to examine how its records and practices support its approval obligations.
We agree the scope around your approval, vehicle range, business arrangements and areas of concern.
Already received an audit notice?
We can help you work through the notice, organise relevant records and prepare an action list against the requested information and dates.
Tell us the response deadline and your time zone. We will confirm availability and scope before accepting the work.
What a review can cover
Depending on the agreed scope:
- Approval conditions and relevant business responsibilities.
- Compliance evidence and its connection to the approved vehicle range.
- Quality management and conformity-of-production records.
- Records of vehicle or supplier changes.
- Document control and access to supporting information.
- Gaps, corrective actions and supporting records.
What you receive
The agreed deliverables can include a findings summary, a prioritised action plan and an organised index of the evidence reviewed.
Where further work is needed, we distinguish actions your team can complete from tasks requiring additional technical or specialist input.
See an example of our approach in this small trailer manufacturer audit-readiness case study. Each engagement is scoped to the business and its circumstances; the historical outcome does not guarantee a future result.
Practical support, with a defined scope
A readiness review helps you prepare. It does not replace a regulator’s assessment or guarantee an audit outcome.
The review scope, available evidence and any limitations are agreed at the outset.
Start with your current position
Tell us what approval you hold, whether an audit notice has been received and what you would like reviewed.
We offer a free initial assessment of up to 20 minutes to understand your requirements, followed by a proposal for the agreed assistance, scope and fees. Detailed reviews and advice are provided under an agreed paid engagement.
For continuing support after the review, explore our ROVER representation and Fractional Compliance Officer services.
