What Is A Reference Audit?
Our Reference Audit is a premium verification service carried out by our team of trained compliance consultants. Each audit involves a full, independent review of the referee, their identity, and the accuracy of the reference provided.
Rather than simply accepting a completed form at face value, we dig deeper. Our team will cross-check the referee’s details against publicly available records, professional listings, and other online sources. Where necessary, we’ll also make direct follow-up calls to confirm authenticity and clarify any inconsistencies.
Every audit concludes with a detailed report outlining our findings, highlighting any potential risks or discrepancies, and giving you complete confidence in the references you rely on.
