There have been very few, if any, Immigration suppliers who have achieved two consecutive Category 1 contract compliance (CCA) outcomes. We know of a firm who has achieved this. These results were obtained in a provincial city with the assessment undertaken by the local Regional Office (RO).

Their third audit, conducted as all now are in London, returned a Cat. 3 and was accompanied by a request for a staggeringly high recoupment.

A successful Internal Review later, the audit redone on the firm's home turf and they were back in Cat. 1.

This of course is only the dust cover summary of a much more interesting and intriguing story. It is a compelling if somewhat unnerving narrative which raises more questions about the conduct of CCAs (especially in Immigration) than it provides answers.
