Governance Infrastructure

When scrutiny begins, only the record remains.

Continuity Ledger is the decision record behind your contractor governance. Intake, approval chain, audit trail, and a monthly CFO attestation — maintained by a human steward, every month.

What you receive monthly
Activation

Operational in 14 days. No procurement required.

We install the ledger, load your contractors, and issue the first attestation. Stewardship begins immediately.

1
Copy the ledger template
A copy of the Continuity Ledger spreadsheet appears in your Drive. The installer and engine scripts are already bound inside — there's nothing else to set up.
30 seconds
2
Run the installer
Open the spreadsheet and click Provision Workspace from the Continuity Ledger menu. The script creates your folder structure — intake queue, approvals, audit trail, attestation archive — and schedules the monthly trigger.
2 minutes
3
Load contractors
Add contractor details through the roster or connect a Google Form for structured intake. Each engagement gets its own ledger entry covering terms, status determination, jurisdiction, and who approved it.
15 min per 10 contractors

On the 1st of each month, your steward reviews the record and issues a Continuity Attestation. It covers contractor count, jurisdiction exposure, integrity exceptions, and record continuity age — timestamped and hash-verified so the date of issue is provable.

Ledger Stewardship

What stewardship actually looks like.

Every month, a human steward reviews the full record, flags anything that changed outside normal intake, and issues a signed attestation. Four deliverables, every month.

Document
Continuity Attestation
Monthly PDF drawn from the live record. Active contractor count, jurisdiction breakdown, total exposure, and approval status as of the attestation date.
Audit
Change Log Summary
Every record change since last attestation. New contractors, status changes, rate adjustments, terminated engagements. What moved and who moved it.
Integrity
Exception Report
Any manual edit outside standard intake gets flagged. Missing approvals, unsigned contracts, direct modifications — each marked as resolved or open.
Continuity
Record Age Metric
Unbroken months of continuous stewardship. This number increases every month you maintain the record. It cannot be generated retroactively.

Every attestation carries the Ledger Verified standard: steward identity recorded, hash proof timestamped, continuity months displayed, integrity exceptions counted. The attestation is the product.

See the structure first.

Copy the ledger template into a test Drive and browse the folder structure, intake sheets, and attestation template before you speak with anyone.

Council Review

What you receive when scrutiny arrives.

The council doesn't rewrite contracts or manage vendors. It reviews the record and produces three specific deliverables.

Deliverable
Decision Defence Pack
Structured evidence bundle drawn from your ledger. Every determination, approval, and contract — organised for the specific scrutiny event.
Deliverable
Scrutiny Questions Map
What will be asked. Where the record answers it. Where it doesn't. No ambiguity about what's covered and what's exposed.
Deliverable
Gap Remediation List
Limited and ranked. What to fix first, what can wait, and where the record already covers you. Defined scope, defined deliverable — then we're done.
Council Review is used for high-risk engagements (umbrella chains, SDS disputes, cross-border complexity), active scrutiny (HMRC correspondence, audit, diligence), or board-level exposure reporting. Most clients never need it. The monthly stewardship is where the record is built.

We take a limited number of installations per quarter

Regulatory Calendar

April 2026 changes three things at once.

If contractor governance was something you'd get to eventually — the timeline just moved.

6 April 2026
Joint & Several Liability
HMRC can pursue any party in the contractor supply chain for unpaid PAYE and NIC — agencies, end clients, umbrella companies. If you engage contractors, you need a record that proves how determinations were made.
6 April 2026
Small Company Reclassification
~14,000 businesses reclassified as "small" lose their IR35 determination obligation. If you remain medium or large, the responsibility stays — and the documentation standard just increased.
6 April 2026
Agency PAYE Mandate
Recruitment agencies must apply PAYE to all umbrella workers. The compliance burden is shifting to end clients. Your audit trail needs to stand on its own, regardless of what your agency provides.

52 days until the JSL rules take effect. An installation takes 14.

It cannot build you six months of unbroken record continuity.
