# ASW Assurance

ASW Assurance is a not-for-profit NHS consortium based in Torquay, specialising in internal audit, counter fraud and consultancy services for healthcare organisations across the South West. They serve acute trusts, mental health services, foundation trusts, Integrated Care Boards and social enterprises, positioning themselves as the region's largest provider of specialist internal audit and assurance services to NHS healthcare organisations.

Rather than delivering basic compliance audits, ASW Assurance adopts a partnership approach focused on genuine governance improvement and patient safety outcomes. Their strategy emphasises quality and value, with highly skilled local teams offering flexibility and responsiveness. The business distinguishes itself through a consultancy philosophy that goes beyond traditional audit work to solve business problems and provide strategic challenge.

What sets them apart is their commitment to high-level assurance work as standard, including cross-organisational reviews, health economy integration assessments and specialised assurance services. Their staff combine accountancy and audit-qualified professionals with sector-specific experts, enabling them to provide insight, advice and strategic challenge whilst acting as a trusted sounding board for client organisations.

ASW Assurance's proven track record centres on developing governance arrangements that directly improve the quality and safety of patient care. Clients consistently report that their services are well-established and valued, underpinned by competitive day rates and a hands-on approach from senior team members dedicated to client success.
