Montana UI audit response
Montana reviews go smoother when your response is organized by payee and your totals reconcile to a clear source export for the audit period.
Montana “what’s different”
Montana requests are easier when you keep your packet small but complete: roster, totals, trail, and proof per payee where needed. The goal is to make verification quick.
What to expect (Montana)
- A records request with a defined period and deadline.
- Requests for wage/payment detail and supporting source documentation.
- Follow-ups when totals don’t reconcile or documentation is incomplete.
What to pull first (Montana checklist)
A) Period summary
- Audit period dates + one-page totals summary.
- Reporting summaries/confirmations (if available).
B) Payment trail
- Bank statements and/or processor exports for the audit period.
- Payee register with purpose labels.
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/high-dollar payees
If you have payees paid by milestone (not hourly), make that obvious in the roster using purpose labels like “milestone 1,” “deliverable,” or “project phase.”
