AUDITING EMPLOYEE HIRING AND STAFFING

Each time an organization hires a new employee, it is exposed to several risks. Internal auditors should recognize the importance of ensuring that human resource departments are in compliance with the regulations that govern hiring and staffing.

Auditing Employee Hiring and Staffing is the third in The IIA Research Foundation’s Auditing Human Resources handbook series. It explains the risks and expenses involved in human resources so that auditors will be equipped to address problems and guide organizations in the following areas:

• Workforce planning.
• Recruiting and hiring candidates.
• Integrating new employees.
• Employee retention.

The handbook closely follows the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) Total Rewards Learning System regarding the general body of knowledge for human resource management. Included are appendices with useful information on key legislation, staffing records retention, and staffing-related websites.
