Franchise Partnerships – How to Strengthen Internal Controls

Franchise partnerships can bring incredible opportunities to expand provision and reach new learners – but they also carry a unique set of challenges, particularly around internal controls, accountability, and risk management.

Join us for an insightful and practical webinar: Franchise Partnerships – How to Strengthen Internal Controls, hosted by RSM’s education sector expert William Simpson and fraud specialist Andrea Deegan. Together, they’ll draw on years of experience supporting education providers through complex audit processes to highlight where things can go wrong – and how you can prevent it.

This discursive session will explore real-life examples and equip you with clear, actionable strategies to tighten your controls, strengthen oversight, and boost compliance confidence across your franchise arrangements.

Whether you’re a finance leader, internal auditor, senior manager or governance professional, this session is highly relevant to your role – with guidance applicable across both the Further Education (FE) and Higher Education (HE)sectors.

What you’ll gain from the session:

• Insight into common weaknesses in franchise oversight and how to spot them early

• Practical tools and techniques to strengthen your internal controls framework

• A deeper understanding of risk areas specific to franchising in education

• Guidance to help you meet regulatory and audit expectations with confidence

Franchise provision continues to be a focus for regulators and auditors – so now is the time to act.
