Board of Trustees
DSA-QAG is governed by a Board of Trustees. These trustees are unremunerated, and have no vested interest in the quality assurance process.
The National Union of Students (NUS) has two seats on the Board, to ensure that disabled students always have a voice. The other trustees are independent, and are involved because of their interest and expertise. The current Board members are:

Auditors
BDO: DSA-QAG outsourced its onsite audit provision in May 2011 to BDO. BDO is a global company and was selected to work with DSA-QAG due to the company’s experience of working in the Higher Education field and the ability to offer regional auditors in England and Wales where our assessment centres and Assistive Technology Service (ATS) providers are based.
