• Mitigation: ID checks directly with the worker; Bank checks for employees to ensure we are paying the individual; When recruiting for high volume consultant roles we use a small number of recruitment agencies on our preferred supplier list; Paying recruitment fees directly to recruitment agency; Allowing direct Inside IR35 contracts freedom of choice over which umbrella to use, provided the umbrella is registered with the FCSA and is SafeRec accredited; Use of SafeRec for umbrella compliance auditing
