Churchill Knight Umbrella is committed to compliance
Churchill Knight Umbrella completed the annual FCSA audit (May 2024) and is pleased to announce that our FCSA accreditation has been renewed for another year.
Ciaran Woodcock, Director at Churchill Knight Umbrella, said the following on the back of Churchill Knight Umbrella’s FCSA accreditation.
“I am thrilled that Churchill Knight Umbrella has had its FCSA accreditation renewed for another year, having successfully passed the annual audit review. We have always taken compliance seriously, and combined with our FCSA certification; I think Churchill Knight Umbrella is setting the standards within our sector. Our transparent approach is why so many contractors trust us to process their payroll and why we are on so many Preferred Supplier Lists with our trusted partnered recruitment agencies.
The FCSA is still seen as a compliance quality standard that remains valuable within the sector. Having passed our annual review, we have successfully proved that our internal processes comply with UK tax law and that our umbrella employees are in the best hands. Therefore, by choosing Churchill Knight Umbrella as a partner or payroll provider, you are selecting an umbrella that is always committed to compliance and is always up to speed with the latest industry developments.”
FCSA members are audited to ensure the highest standards of compliance
To become an FCSA-accredited member, Churchill Knight Umbrella had to undergo a rigorous assessment of our business operations, policies and processes to ensure adherence to FCSA’s Code of Compliance. A copy of the audit report is also sent to HMRC for complete transparency.
All FCSA members must pass annual audits and compliance checks to retain their accredited status. Independent accountants and solicitors conduct these checks and assure recruitment agencies and contractors that Churchill Knight Umbrella continues to meet FCSA’s Code of Compliance requirements.
Adding us to your agency PSL is an easy decision
Operating compliantly with HMRC rules and regulations is critical, and recruitment agencies refer their candidates to a non-compliant payroll provider. Choosing Churchill Knight Umbrella to be on your agency’s PSL is a wise and risk-free decision. As an FCSA-accredited umbrella company, you know that our internal processes comply with HMRC, and we have proven this through thorough assessments and an independent audit. Adding us to your PSL saves you the hassle of having the vet new payroll providers – because the FCSA has already done this for you!
