South Dakota UI audit response
South Dakota reviews are easier when you keep a simple wage/payment summary and attach proof only where it clarifies payee purpose and relationship.
South Dakota “what’s different”
South Dakota reviews tend to stay straightforward when you lead with clean totals and a payee roster that matches your exports. The goal is to prevent a simple review from turning into a long back-and-forth.
What to expect (South Dakota)
- A written records request with a deadline and defined audit period.
- Requests for wage/payment detail and supporting source documentation.
- Clarification requests if payee totals don’t tie out cleanly.
What to pull first (South Dakota checklist)
A) Period summary
- Audit period dates + totals summary.
- Copies of your quarterly reporting summaries (as filed) and any confirmations.
B) Payment trail
- Bank statements and/or payment processor exports for the audit period.
- Payee register: date, payee, amount, purpose label.
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 (deliverables, milestones, email threads)
If you have multiple locations or business lines, add a one-paragraph “how we operate” note that explains which payees relate to which part of the business. It reduces reviewer guessing.
