Welcome to BTS Audit Tools

The BTS Audit Tools system has recently undergone a major revision and upgrade. 

To log in to the audit tool or to register click here

The BTS audit tool system has been revised and updated. Each audit now has a designated National Audit period. It is hoped that users will participate in the relevant national BTS audits each year, to allow the BTS to produce an annual national audit report.

The audit tools will be available outside the National Audit Periods for local use (and will allow users to compare their local data with the national picture, but this local data will not contribute to the national dataset).

The following audit tools are available here
