Jill Elliott

Jill has 19 years audit experience and is both a member and fellow of the Institute of Internal Auditors. She has been with CAL for ten years and is responsible for the delivery of CAL’s grant audit services.

Jill started her audit career in the Civil Service before joining Bentley Jennison (now RSM Tenon) as a client manager in 1998 where she led teams of internal auditors working primarily in further and higher education. Following CAL’s success in auditing HEFCE projects for UCL, Jill took responsibility for auditing European Commission Framework 6 projects.  As part of this work Jill delivered training seminars on the audit process for finance staff and auditors working on further education projects.  Jill has increased the number of CAL’s higher education clients through a reputation for establishing excellent working relationships and providing a tailored and high quality service.

In addition to providing EC Framework 6 and more lately Framework 7 audits, Jill is responsible for managing the audits for other externally funded projects. This includes DTI/TSB audits, EC AsiaLink and EuropeAid projects, Defra and ERDF work.  For all these audits she ensures that great care is taken to ensure that a full understanding of the grant mechanisms are in place and audit programmes are developed to ensure that timetables for the delivery of audit certificates are met.
