Wisconsin UI audit response
Wisconsin reviews go smoother when you keep wage/payment records consistent with what was reported and organize proof per payee.
Wisconsin “what’s different”
Wisconsin requests become manageable when your totals are reporting-consistent and your proof is organized per payee. Treat your response like an audit-ready file: clear roster, verifiable totals, and supporting records where needed.
What to expect (Wisconsin)
- A records request with a defined period and deadline.
- Requests for payment detail and supporting source records.
- Follow-ups when totals don’t reconcile across reporting vs exports.
What to pull first (Wisconsin checklist)
A) Period summary
- Audit period dates + totals summary.
- Copies of reporting summaries and confirmations (if available).
B) Payment trail
- Bank/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 a payee’s totals include corrections/voids/refunds, include a short “adjustments” note so the reviewer doesn’t assume missing payments.
