Compliance Audits
Structured reviews of operator systems, records and controls, with clear findings, priorities and corrective actions.
Redefining transport compliance
Compliance doesn't happen once a year. Neither should your compliance support.
LBM isn't just another auditor. We're your ongoing compliance partner - helping HGV, PSV and LCV fleet operators review, correct, evidence and continuously monitor the systems that protect their operation.
More than an audit
Auditing is only the start.
We review what is happening across the operation, turn findings into practical actions, define the evidence needed to close them and keep visibility on the system afterwards. The goal is controlled improvement - not another report filed away.
Ongoing Compliance Partnership
Regular evidence review, corrective-action control, management visibility and practical specialist support between formal audits.
Training & Technical Support
Practical on-site development for drivers, technicians, inspectors, responsible persons and managers.

Driver cards. Vehicle downloads. One compliance workflow.
LBM Continuous Tachograph Compliance — powered by ComplyMate Lite. Our planned monitoring package brings driver-card and vehicle tachograph downloads into a focused portal, with automated analysis being developed and validated, plus optional LBM human review and follow-up.
A practical office download routine
Designed around regular driver-card downloads using supported equipment. For depot-based drivers, a morning-and-evening routine can provide more frequent records where practical, with potential compliance issues highlighted after completed analysis.
The vehicle records belong here too
The planned package also includes vehicle-unit downloads, download status and missing-data checks, bringing the driver and vehicle records into the same review process.
Planned as a standalone package with ComplyMate Lite, or alongside wider LBM Compliance support. The initial office workflow does not depend on DriverMate being available in an app store.
In development and testing, not yet available for active monitoring. Supported equipment, final features and pricing will be confirmed before launch. Monitoring will depend on received and processed downloads — it is not live vehicle tracking or an always-connected remote download service.
The LBM approach
Audit. Act. Evidence. Monitor. Improve.
Our connected compliance model follows the full trail: finding, owner, action, evidence, verification, closure and continued monitoring - so standards do not simply drift again after the review.
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.
Ongoing compliance partnership
We're your ongoing compliance partner.
A formal audit is a snapshot. The LBM Compliance Partnership is designed for everything that happens afterwards: actions, evidence, recurring checks, management visibility and practical support as the operation changes.
Support can be monthly, quarterly or risk-led depending on fleet size, complexity and current compliance risk. We continuously revisit the areas that matter so management can see whether controls are working between formal reviews - not just on audit day.
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. Read about our readiness support →
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.

LBM Group · Developments
Compliance support backed by practical software.
LBM Compliance is the specialist service side of LBM Group. LBM Developments builds the software side — tools designed around the same real transport, workshop, vehicle and operational workflows.
That means an operator can use human compliance support where judgement and challenge matter, while using LBM software to organise records, actions and day-to-day workflows.
One Group, two strengths: specialist compliance support from LBM Compliance and operational software from LBM Developments.
