Ofqual is changing the way it regulates and we are currently reviewing the full range of our assurance activities. As we refine our approaches, this section will be updated.
Our Approach to Accountability and Assurance
Monitoring Qualifications
During the review of our accountability and assurance activity you may wish to access reports that we have published under the regulatory arrangements in force up to the 18th July 2011.
Transition to the General Conditions of Recognition
Each awarding organisation recognised under the previous regulatory requirements must familiarise itself with the General Conditions of Recognition and undertake such activity that will enable its governing body to provide to Ofqual a statement of the organisation’s compliance against those conditions. All existing Awarding Organisations must make such a statement no later than 18th May 2012.

Comparability
Examination standards are what our country’s education system — and those who work within it — are judged against. For the system to be fair to all, examinations need to be comparable between different versions, different awarding organisations, different years and different subjects.
