Compliance Audits by FTC Audit is a DVSA Earned Recognition audit platform that does far more than record your answers — it guides you through every one. Built to the official DVSA ER standard with 300+ criteria across all 10 sections, and with plain-English guidance and the exact statutory citation on every question, it turns a daunting compliance audit into a clear, step-by-step process. Seasoned auditor or running your very first audit, you produce the same professional, defensible result.

A DVSA compliance audit is the single best way to know — before the DVSA or a Traffic Commissioner does — whether your operation actually stands up. But for most people the hard part isn't the will to audit; it's knowing what to check, how deep to go, and which regulation sits behind each requirement. This platform solves exactly that.
It takes the real DVSA Earned Recognition audit — the same framework an accredited assessor uses — and rebuilds it as guided software. Every section, every criterion and every qualifying question is here, each one carrying clear guidance and the citation behind it. The result is a tool that an experienced auditor can fly through, and that a complete newcomer can use to produce a credible, professional audit while learning the standard as they go.
It sits alongside our done-for-you compliance audits and the free Employer Self-Audit — three ways to audit, one standard of rigour.
Plenty of "audit" tools are just a list of tick-boxes someone wrote in a spreadsheet. This isn't. The platform is structured around the official DVSA Earned Recognition standard, so what you run is a genuine DVSA compliance audit — mapped, scored and reported the way the scheme expects.
This is what makes the platform genuinely different, and why it's as much a training tool as an audit tool. You never have to already know the standard. Beside every single question sits plain-English guidance — what good looks like, what to check, what evidence to ask for — together with the precise statutory or DVSA citation it comes from.
For anyone learning how to perform a DVSA compliance audit, that's transformative. It's like having an experienced lead auditor sitting next to you, explaining each requirement and pointing to the rule behind it. A transport manager can self-assess with real confidence; a brand-new auditor can run a professional audit on day one; and an operator can finally understand why each requirement matters, not just whether they've met it.
Pick the depth the situation needs — a full Deep Audit for formal sign-off, a rapid Snap Audit on the basics, or a Focused Section Audit when only one area matters.
The complete Earned Recognition audit — all 10 sections, every qualifying question, every subsection. Produces the full formal PDF with fleet overview, operator profile, action plan and supervisor sign-off.
A focused subset covering the critical, compliance-basic items — the things that matter most at a Traffic Commissioner appearance or a spot-check. Full scoring, full report, a fraction of the time.
Pick any single DVSA section — Vehicle Standards, Driver Standards, Transport Manager, whatever the concern — and audit just that area in full depth.
Every question, every criterion and every subsection from the official DVSA ER standard — structured for both HGV and PSV operators.
Live government data, OCRS ingestion, tamper-evident reports and white-label branding — everything you need to run a professional DVSA audit in one place.
Independent auditors, transport managers running internal checks, or consultancies serving multiple operators — the platform adapts to your workflow.
White-label the platform with your own branding. Unlimited audits, unlimited client operators, 5 seats to start and more at £2/month each. Choose Deep, Snap or Focused per job — and deliver a polished, citable report every time.
Stay audit-ready year-round. Run Snap audits monthly to catch drift, Focused audits after a near-miss and a Deep audit annually. Live DVLA & DVSA data and automatic OCRS tracking replace the manual spreadsheets.
Manage multiple operator clients from one dashboard, with per-seat pricing that scales with your team. Publish verified reports in one click — your clients share QR-verified PDFs with the Traffic Commissioner, insurers or customers.
Start with a 14-day free trial — no card charged until it ends. No per-audit fees and no per-operator limits; add auditors any time. Billing is secured by Stripe.
Both plans include a 14-day free trial and every feature — only the billing period differs. Winding a practice down? The optional Archive Plan keeps your historical audits as read-only for £5/month or £50/year. Sign up and manage everything at audit.theftc.co.uk.
Audits come in three forms at FTC — most operators use more than one.
