Maryland UI audit response
Maryland reviews move faster when you organize proof per payee and keep your totals aligned to the agency’s requested period and categories.
Maryland “what’s different”
Maryland reviews are smoother when you provide clean, categorized totals and proof that’s easy to scan. Think “reviewer workflow”: verify totals first, then spot-check payees.
What to expect (Maryland)
- A records request with a defined time period and deadline.
- Requests for wage/payment detail and supporting documentation.
- Follow-ups if you provide totals without clear source exports and labeling.
What to pull first (Maryland checklist)
A) Period summary
- Audit period dates + a one-page totals summary.
- Reporting summaries/confirmations (if available).
B) Payment trail
- Bank/processor exports for the audit period.
- Payee register with purpose labels.
- A short note if you changed categories or systems mid-year.
C) Proof per payee
- W-9 (if applicable)
- Invoices
- Scope documentation (work order / SOW / engagement emails / proposal acceptance)
- Approvals (if used)
- Work evidence for repeat or higher-dollar payees
If you have multiple departments submitting payables, standardize purpose labels before exporting (even simple categories like “marketing,” “repairs,” “admin,” “ops”).
