I-9 Internal Audit: Ensuring Compliance with Employment Eligibility Verification

Employment eligibility verification is a critical process for every organization to ensure compliance with immigration laws and regulations. Form I-9, issued by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), is used to verify the identity and employment authorization of individuals hired for employment in the United States. At Lex Maxim, we offer comprehensive I-9 Internal Audit services to help your organization maintain compliance and minimize the risk of penalties and legal issues.
