Regulatory compliance requirements.
Do those three words make the hair on the back of your neck stand up? Well, a visit from UKVI doesn’t need to cause sleepless nights — Qualification Check’s audit-ready verification solutions are here to help you rest easy this audit season.
A UKVI audit ensures universities meet their visa sponsorship obligations, focusing on key areas like record-keeping, student monitoring, and reporting. By identifying strengths and areas for improvement, these audits help institutions maintain the standards needed to protect their sponsorship licence and uphold Home Office expectations.
That doesn’t sound too nerve-wracking, right?
But failing to meet these requirements — including internal administrative upkeep such as missing or expired paperwork — can result in reputational damage and even the revocation of student visa licences.
With stakes this high, a fundamental step for peace of mind before an audit is knowing your institution fully meets government standards by maintaining accurate, complete records of your international student cohorts. And when UKVI comes knocking, there’s no need to be spooked — our direct-to-source verification provides a full audit trail, giving you solid answers and peace of mind to breeze through any audit.
Don’t hide in the shadows — stay a step ahead of auditors!
We offer a range of tools to safeguard your international recruitment efforts and keep UKVI auditors happy. Global Verification Admissions Plus combines our core four checks into one robust package:
- Qualification Check(s) at the awarding body
- Digital Identity Confirmation
- Academic Reference Check
- English Language Verification
Designed specifically for Admissions and Compliance teams, our easy-to-use client portal digitises and streamlines the mammoth task of student enrolment, with full audit trails and 24/7 support.
With application fraud on the rise and becoming scarily sophisticated, it’s as important to attract top student talent and provide a seamless onboarding experience as it is to deter fraudulent applications. By completing these four checks for each incoming overseas student, your institution sends a strong message that it is robustly safeguarded and takes background checks seriously.
