A complete and appropriate Form I-9 must be completed for each employee (hired after November 6, 1986). To conduct this audit we review your I-9 forms for current and former employees to determine whether your process for completing the forms meets federal requirements; if the employees and the Company representatives completing the I-9s are doing so accurately and completely; if corrections have been properly made; and whether your recordkeeping is legally compliant.
