Audit Procedures

I recently started our Internal Audit department for a 6,000 employee organization. I am in the process of getting a report from our Applicant Tracking system that shows name / degree / university.

I am then planning on comparing it against the fine Oregon site to see what turns up.

Just curious if anyone here has an Audit / Internal Audit / Compliance role in an organization. If so, what steps have you taked to ensure that your employees have valid credentials?

 

Interesting. Do you have a company policy which defines "valid".

Cheers,

Policy

No current policy on what is a "valid" degree. No routine checking of transcripts to see if they actually graduated from said college (managers can check at their own discretion). No check versus a bogus degree list.

That will hopefully be the result of this audit, that we define what a "valid" degree is. Looking for policy suggestions.

I think we should require Regional Accredation.

 

Interesting - I would suggest your situation is common. Moves are afoot here in Australia to urge all employers to have firm policies and procedures for qualifications. It's all well and good having them mandated as an essential criteria for employment, but when falsification or grey areas occur, there is no legal recourse.

Cheers,
