How to Create a Custom Audit Note

This shows how a user can create a custom audit note.

Goal

One important aspect of I-9 best practices is for an employer to conduct an internal audit of their Forms I-9 to discern if they have any identifiable compliance issues. If a compliance issue exists, the employer should remediate the issues whenever possible and append an audit note to the Form I-9 explaining the issue and any corrective action taken.

A custom audit note can be created at any time for any I-9 record. There are no limits to the number of custom audit notes that can be added to an I-9 Record. Custom Audit Notes can be useful when conducting an Internal Audit, or when it is necessary to annotate why a change was made to a record.
