Identifying and managing key risks is the primary purpose of HR auditing
Human resources audit should
qualify as the most important of all audits of an organization. This is because
HR auditing is directly related to employees, who are the organization’s most
important resource. It is through an HR audit that an organization evaluates its
employees’ strengths and weaknesses.
HR
audits help organizations in a number of ways
HR auditing helps organizations
in many ways. Through HR audits, organizations are able to ascertain potential
and actual problem areas, assess the effectiveness of current HR management
activities, measure the weaknesses in HR internal control processes, evaluate
human capital strategic and compliance related risks, and suggest corrective
action on all these.
Getting
the HR auditing right
The
fulcrum for all these for an organization is in getting its HR audit right. The
ways by which this can be achieved will be the subject of a seminar that
GlobalCompliancePanel, a renowned provider of professional trainings in the
regulatory compliance areas, will be organizing. More on this teaching session
can be had from
The Director at this seminar, Ronald Adler,
who is President of Laurdan associates, Inc., will offer insights into HR
auditing in a way only a person such as him, who has spent over four decades in
the industry, can.
The
basis of effective HR auditing lies in asking the right questions
Ronald Adler will emphasize the
point that the root to carrying out HR audits effectively is in asking the
right questions. The effectiveness of HR audits is measured by how they throw
up a structured and systematic series of questions about the areas relating to key
compliance, risk management, internal auditing, and human resource management
issues in HR, which are the main purpose of these audits.
Key
issues affecting HR audits in 2016
Because of the coming together of
a variety of factors; HR auditing has taken a new role and importance from
2016. These factors include:
o The
increasing importance of human capital in the age of ever increasing
globalization
o The insufficiency
of the present financial institutions to foresee and contain the outbreak of
corporate scandals and bring about greater transparency in these institutions
o The
recognition by leading bodies and legislations such as the EEOC, the OFCCP,
U.S. DOL, the NLRB, and ICE of the importance of HR audits as an effective tool
for self-audits
The
role of ERM in HR audits
Another important point that
Ronald Adler will highlight at this seminar is the importance of HR audits in
considering human capital-related risks and opportunities from an Enterprise
Risk Management (ERM) perspective. This means that the HR audit should take a
holistic view of human capital risks and align the interrelationships and
interactions between HR and other functions relating to management and the
organization.
Yet another aspect that will be reviewed
is the current use of HR audits. Adler will explain how HR Audits can be used
to help the organization reduce risks and grab potential opportunities.
