QPS is pleased to confirm it has successfully passed its latest annual audit with the Freelancer & Contractor Services Association (FCSA), reinforcing our commitment to the highest standards of compliance, transparency, and best practice across the recruitment supply chain.
What does FCSA accreditation mean?
FCSA accreditation is widely recognised as the gold standard within the umbrella and payroll market. Maintaining this status requires rigorous, independent assessment of payroll processes, employment practices, tax compliance, financial integrity, and operational governance. Passing this audit reflects the strength of our controls and, just as importantly, the day-to-day discipline required to operate compliantly in a complex and fast-moving regulatory environment.
A continued commitment to raising standards
The umbrella and payroll landscape continues to evolve, with growing scrutiny and increased expectations across the labour supply chain. At QPS, we remain focused on investing in robust compliance frameworks, clear processes and technology-led transparency, so our recruitment partners and their end clients can place confidence in how workers are engaged and paid.
Robert Arnold
, Managing Director, QPS
“Passing our annual FCSA audit is a real credit to the commitment and professionalism of the entire QPS team. Standards don’t maintain themselves, especially in an ever-changing landscape, and this result reflects the hard work that goes in behind the scenes to ensure we operate the right way, every day. Holding the highest recognised accreditation also helps our recruitment partners strengthen their supply chain assurance and meet their own compliance expectations with confidence.”
A continued commitment to raising standards
QPS also holds SafeRec accreditation, providing further independent assurance around ethical and responsible payroll practices. Together, FCSA and SafeRec demonstrate that QPS operates at the highest standard within our industry, supporting compliant, transparent and sustainable supply chain models.
