Indiana UI audit response

Indiana audits go smoother when you reconcile totals early and keep proof tied to the payee and the payment trail.

Not legal advice. This is administrative guidance for organizing records and responding clearly.

Indiana “what’s different” (DWD practicality)

Indiana reviews tend to reward clarity: a reconciled total, a clean roster, and proof that’s easy to spot. The goal is to reduce back-and-forth by making verification fast.

What to expect (Indiana)

  • A notice stating the period under review and what records are requested.
  • Requests for payment detail and documentation supporting how workers were treated.
  • Clarification requests when documents are missing or totals don’t tie out.

What to pull first (Indiana checklist)

A) Period + reconciliation

  • A one-page audit period summary (dates + totals).
  • A quick reconciliation note: “Here’s how bank/processor totals tie to our internal records.”

B) Payment trail

  • Bank statements and/or processor exports covering the period.
  • Check images/ACH detail if used.
  • A payee register: date, payee, amount, purpose label.

C) Proof per payee (no “contract” wording)

  • W-9 (if applicable)
  • Invoices
  • Scope documentation (engagement emails / SOW / accepted proposal / work order)
  • Approvals (if used)
  • Work evidence for repeat relationships (deliverables, project milestones)
Audit-ready tip

If you used multiple payment methods (checks + ACH + card), keep a single payee total summary so the reviewer doesn’t have to stitch it together.
