FCSA confirms Churchill Knight has gained coveted accreditation

Having undergone a comprehensive audit and rigorous assessment process, Churchill Knight (Contractor Accountancy and Umbrella) has successfully earned the prestigious FCSA accreditation. Adding FCSA to our organisation is further proof of our commitment to compliance within the contractor payroll sector.

FCSA membership is a prestigious accreditation

To obtain FCSA accreditation, Churchill Knight & Associates Ltd and Churchill Knight Umbrella have been “independently audited by leading accountancy and legal professionals” to ensure we operate in accordance with the FCSA Codes of Compliance.

The FCSA is well known and respected for its transparency and sharing of information with HMRC. Now that we have passed the initial audit, the material that was collated is openly shared with HMRC – another reason an FCSA accreditation is such a high-valued accolade within the payroll industry.

Moving forward, Churchill Knight will be required to undergo an annual audit to ensure our internal processes remain compliant with the latest HMRC rules and regulations.

Further proof of our commitment to compliance

Ciaran Woodcock, Head of Marketing and Field Sales, has had an active role in securing the FCSA accreditation. He said:

“Churchill Knight has always been dedicated to providing a compliant payroll service for both recruitment agencies and their candidates. Having been a Professional Passport accredited member for a number of years, we have always operated in accordance with HMRC rules and regulations.

Over the last couple of years, I have become increasingly impressed with the FCSA and their commitment to developing a strict Codes of Compliance that their members must adhere to. I have also noticed a number of our recruitment partners showing a real interest in the FCSA. After all, choosing an FSCA accredited payroll provider for their PSL is a straightforward way to secure the compliance of their supply chain.

As well as maintaining our Professional Passport accreditation, I am excited to announce that Churchill Knight is now a member of the FCSA. This will help move the business forward by strengthening existing relationships and building new ones with recruitment agencies who are just as committed to compliance as we are.”
