FCSA (Freelancer & Contractor Services Association)

FCSA members are audited to ensure the highest standards of compliance

To become an FCSA accredited member, Churchill Knight had to undergo a rigorous assessment of our business’ operations, policies and processes, to ensure adherence to FCSA’s Codes of Compliance. A copy of the audit report is also sent to HMRC for complete transparency.

All FCSA members are required to pass annual audits and compliance checks to retain their accredited status. These checks are conducted by independent accountants and solicitors and provide assurances to recruitment agencies and contractors that Churchill Knight continues to meet FCSA’s Code of Compliance requirements.

Adding us to your agencies PSL is an easy decision

Operating compliantly with HMRC rules and regulations is critical, and recruitment agencies cannot afford to refer their candidates to a non-compliant accountant or payroll provider.

Choosing Churchill Knight & Associates Ltd and Churchill Knight Umbrella to be on your agencies PSL is a wise and risk-free decision. As FCSA accredited companies, you know that our internal processes are compliant with HMRC and we have been able to prove this through thorough assessments and an independent audit. Adding us to your PSL saves you the hassle of having to vet new payroll providers – because the FCSA has already done this for you!
