All Scheme fee levels are set, and reviewed annually, by the Accreditation Scheme Board. Direct costs of the inspections and spot checks will be paid by providers against invoice from the Accreditation Unit. These costs consist of the expenses arising directly from an inspection and include inspectors' fees, transport costs and subsistence.

If these costs are not paid in full within three months of the date of the invoice, this will be drawn to the attention of the Accreditation Scheme Board, on whose recommendation accreditation will normally be withdrawn.

The Scheme reserves the right to withhold inspection results and reports from any provider until the Accreditation Unit receives evidence that all outstanding fees have been paid.

The attached Accreditation UK fees sheet 2012-13 provides you with further details.
