Compliance Audits
Structured reviews of operator systems, records and controls, with clear findings, priorities and corrective actions.
Transport compliance • audit • training
Compliance should be managed every day — not discovered at audit.
LBM Compliance helps HGV, PSV and commercial fleet operators build stronger systems, evidence what is working, identify gaps early and keep corrective actions moving to closure.
What we do
Independent support for the systems that protect your operator licence.
We review what is actually happening across the operation — records, processes, maintenance controls, driver management and evidence — then turn findings into practical actions.
Annual Compliance Partnerships
Regular independent review and monitoring so compliance becomes a managed business process instead of an annual scramble.
Training & Technical Support
Practical on-site development for drivers, technicians, inspectors, responsible persons and managers.
The LBM approach
From finding a problem to proving it is closed.
Our developing Audit Portal model is designed around a full compliance trail: finding, owner, action, evidence, verification and closure.
Assess
Review the operation against relevant legal duties, operator commitments, DVSA guidance and appropriate good practice.
Correct
Turn findings into prioritised actions with responsibility, target dates and clear evidence requirements.
Monitor
Revisit trends, risk and overdue actions so improvement becomes continuous rather than reactive.
Annual partnerships
A compliance partner, not just an audit date.
For operators who want an external challenge function alongside their own transport management team, LBM can provide planned reviews throughout the year, corrective-action control and practical specialist input.
Frequency can be monthly, quarterly or risk-led depending on fleet size, complexity, maintenance arrangements and current compliance risk.
Typical partnership support
- Scheduled compliance reviews
- Corrective-action tracking
- Maintenance and roadworthiness monitoring
- Driver and operational compliance review
- Policy and process development
- Management KPI and trend review
- Technical support when issues arise
DVSA Earned Recognition readiness
Prepare properly — and stay ready afterwards.
LBM Compliance can help operators test systems, evidence and controls against the expectations behind DVSA Earned Recognition, identify gaps, organise evidence and maintain readiness between formal scheme audits.
LBM Compliance does not currently present itself as a DVSA-authorised Earned Recognition audit provider. Formal scheme audits must be completed by a DVSA-authorised audit provider.
Readiness work can include
- HGV or PSV readiness review
- Evidence and record sampling
- Policy and process gap analysis
- Vehicle-standard and driver-hours controls
- Corrective-action planning
- Management monitoring and KPI review
- Pre-audit evidence organisation
Training & technical depth
Compliance knowledge backed by hands-on vehicle expertise.
Training can be built around the client's actual fleet, procedures and risk areas rather than relying on generic classroom material. Technical capability supports work that moves beyond paperwork into inspection quality, maintenance systems and defect decisions.

Where delivery leads to formal external certification or IRTEC recognition, it will only be advertised and delivered within the relevant approved arrangements.
