Helen Swan's Company Details
Veritau is a shared service group owned by local authorities in Yorkshire and north east England.We provide assurance services to over 500 public sector organisations in the region and beyond. Our aim is to provide highly-regarded services which add value for our clients and are competitive in price.When we were formed in 2009, shared services were relatively uncommon among local authorities. After close collaboration between their two internal audit teams, North Yorkshire County Council and City of York Council came together to create Veritau Limited.This was an innovative partnership between the two councils allowing for economies of scale in a key corporate service. We expanded further in 2012 when four more local authorities joined us to create the Veritau group.As counter fraud and information governance provide a natural fit with audit and assurance, these teams also formed part of Veritau. More recently we've developed additional services in risk management and data analytics.In 2020, we took on a further three member councils. Today we have nine partner councils, three group companies and over 70 members of staff.We are a recognised Investor in People since 2011, and have been nominated for several national awards.
