Audit Yorkshire

What Audit Yorkshire does

Audit Yorkshire is an internal audit, counter fraud, local security management, and advisory service provider operating as a shared service within the UK NHS public sector. It is structurally associated with York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, from which it takes its operating base at Park House, Bridge Lane, York. The organisation predominantly serves NHS trusts across the Yorkshire region, alongside a small number of third sector clients.

The service portfolio spans Internal Audit (independent assurance on risk management, governance, and internal control), Anti-Crime/Counter Fraud (risk-based work informed by local, regional, and national fraud intelligence), Data Security and Protection, HR Investigations, Well Led Development Reviews, and Advisory and Support. A newer Digital, Data and Analytics line signals a deliberate broadening from traditional financial and compliance audit into technology risk and data-driven advisory. Delivery is led by a team of approximately 20 professionals, the majority of whom hold IIA/CCAB qualifications, with all Local Counter Fraud Specialists fully accredited.

The business model is professional services revenue, almost certainly under NHS framework agreements or direct commissioning arrangements with individual NHS trusts. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven within NHS networks rather than through commercial marketing channels, and the organisation does not hold patents, disclose funding rounds, or operate any consumer-facing software product. Operating status is active, with ongoing news publishing and service delivery evidenced through 2026.
