Compliance

Once engaged to assist in report preparation, CRA works with employers to extract the requisite information out of HR and payroll systems, after which we perform over 40 data checks to ensure data integrity. We provide consultation regarding internal and external benchmarking decisions and strategies to mitigate risk in the event of an audit. Our experts assist in the creation of AAP establishment and job group structures, development of functional AAP structures, and Census occupation coding. We use our set of automated tools to generate plans, impact ratios, and compensation analyses in the blink of an eye.

CRA’s experts are able to explain complex analyses concisely and clearly, have experience communicating with OFCCP and EEOC statisticians, and bring extensive statistical and econometric expertise to interactions with government officials. We review and critique Agency analyses to ensure they are grounded in applicable labor laws and reflect how the employer operates.

Our team serves as a trusted partner to clients who are the subject of government-imposed monitorships or self-appointed by companies on a proactive basis. Our efforts encompass a thorough review of existing compliance policies and procedures to identify and remediate problematic gaps; interviews with stakeholders to understand key issues; detailed lookbacks to assess prior transactions and identify problematic areas; industry-specific risk assessments; and the implementation of transparency in reporting.

CRA is often engaged to assist with OFCCP, EEOC, and State Agency compliance when the risk-level is elevated. Our experts ensure that the data produced to the agency is accurate and complete, perform thorough proactive analyses, strategically decide which data elements to submit in an audit, and, when necessary, measure potential exposure to aid in reaching conciliation.
