The I-9 Compliance Self-Audit Checklist

Compliance audit checklists are used by internal or external auditors to measure a business’s compliance with government regulations and industry standards, as well as identify areas where more stringent adherence should be enforced.

Federal and Michigan law both prohibit discrimination based on skin color, religion, age or sex of job applicants. A checklist has been prepared that reviews interview outlines and application questions for potential unlawful inquiries that might arise during interviews and application processes.

Data Provided by Confidential Informants

Legal compliance audit checklists are used by external and internal auditors alike to assess whether an organization complies with government regulations, industry standards or its own policies. Auditors use existing documents against this checklist in their review to spot gaps or risks that require further training or tighter policy adherence; additionally they allow auditors to set realistic timeframes so they only focus on relevant parts of an enterprise during review sessions.

Labor Laws. This component of an audit investigates a business’s human resource management practices, collective bargaining agreements, employee relations policies and equal employment opportunity/antidiscrimination policies as well as any safety/security policies in place.

Data on File with the Department of Homeland Security

Data held by the Department of Homeland Security includes reports and exchange content between internal and external partners. Most of this data can be made accessible to the public; however, certain sets are restricted and must first be approved for release by DHS before being made public.

Data is collected and distributed by the Department of Homeland Security according to its authorities, such as the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. 1003).

DHS strives to meet its diversity goals through membership of committees with diverse professional experiences and educational backgrounds. As part of this endeavor, the department collects personal data from applicants applying to become committee members; this data can then be found publicly available via documents and lists provided by DHS. Survey datasets distributed by DHS come in compressed.ZIP files that must be unzipped using Winzip or PKUNZIP before working files including data files, data definition files and documentation can be extracted.

Data Provided by Alleged Co-Conspirators

Homeland Security and ICE do not audit every company in America, but they use analytics software to detect trends in employment verification data which suggest certain companies or industries should undergo an I-9 audit. One common way DHS and ICE gain information that triggers an audit is from individuals accused of federal immigration crimes who give up information about companies they worked at in exchange for reduced sentences – such as former co-conspirators.

Data regarding illegal immigrants can also be collected through government informants. As the penalties associated with harboring these individuals can be extremely harsh, many will report others as witnesses in order to avoid jail time themselves.

Data Provided by Internal Auditor

Legal compliance audits conduct internal business investigations for evidence of violations to federal or industry regulations and standards, such as labor laws, equal employment opportunity policies or data security requirements. They provide valuable insight into whether companies comply with such legal compliance obligations.

Conducting a legal compliance audit requires a team of internal auditors to assess a company against a set of guidelines. They must set primary goals for the audit, determine its scope, and assemble all pertinent documents before beginning.

Auditor’s tasks in this process involve identifying infringing activities and proposing plans to remedy them, while the company must prepare itself for possible follow-up audits to check that corrected infractions still do not comply with industry standards. Furthermore, teams should create and adhere to a timeline throughout the audit process before presenting its final report to executive, management, and board staff; depending on severity of violations a fine may be assessed against it.
