About us

What we do

CSS focuses purely on Block Discounting audits mainly in the asset finance sector but also in the bridging loans arena. We
conduct regular training of all our team and also staff from outside of the business who are looking to expand their horizons.

We operate all over the UK to conduct in person audits complemented by remote (desktop) audits. We always call by
appointment and offer a friendly but business like service to our clients’ customers.

All our work is confidential and our clients (the Blockers) all have non-disclosure agreements in place with CSS. Block
discounting audits are very thorough as they aim to ensure the Blockers’ funds are in safe hands. We evidence receipt of HP /
Lease / Loan repayments from the Blockees’ end users, an audit task aimed at minimising fraud.

Other audit tasks are conducted including checking suppliers’ invoices for both accuracy and timely payment. Pre Facility
audits is another avenue in which we specialise. These are in-depth in person audits which seek to confirm the adequacy of
controls within the business of the prospective Blockee who is applying for credit.

Audit checks range from: Credit control; Collections efficiency; KYC and AML procedures; Fraud prevention measures; Pay-out
controls; and Marketing policies. If you would like to discuss our services in greater detail, please contact us. We would be
happy to have a chat to explain exactly what we do and to provide you with our latest rates.

Credit Management in 1988. He has over 45 years of experience in the

accounting and forensic auditing.

Benefits of Training

The training sessions offered by CSS yield numerous benefits for both its clients
and its employees. Some of the key advantages include:

Enhanced Skills Participants acquire new skills and knowledge that are directly
applicable to their roles, enhancing their overall competence and performance.

Regulatory Compliance By staying up to date with the latest regulations and
best practices, staff members help the Blocker maintain compliance with
industry standards, thereby reducing legal risks.

Fraud Prevention Increased awareness of fraud schemes and preventive
measures contributes to a more secure operational environment, protecting
both the Blocker and its customers.

Risk Management Improved understanding of R/P calculations enables staff to
make balanced decisions that optimize cash flow.

is well-prepared for evaluations, fostering a culture of transparency and

Hiring

Do you have experience in the asset
finance sector?

Here at CSS we are always on the look out for experienced people
who can add value to our business. In this vein we are particularly
interested to hear from people who have experience in the asset
finance sector and are perhaps either retired or working on a part
time basis.

Experience of auditing is not vital as we offer comprehensive training.

What is more important to us is hiring individuals with people and life
skills, who have the ability to travel and to interact well both with the
Blockee’s finance staff and the business heads including the MD.

If you think you fit this profile, please do not hesitate to reach out to
us.
