A step-by-step checklist for putting together a Section 503 focused review desk audit submission

Need help putting together your response to a Section 503 focused review scheduling letter from the Labor Department’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP)?

Our OFCCP Section 503 Focused Review Desk Audit Submission Checklist provides a practical, step-by-step guide for gathering, assembling, organizing, and reviewing each component of a fully compliant scheduling letter response, including all required equal employment opportunity and affirmative action policies, reports, and data that belong in a Section 503 desk audit submission.

Developed by experienced attorneys and compliance practitioners who’ve managed and advised on hundreds of OFCCP audits, the checklist also provides a system for assigning and tracking each of the key milestones and deadlines for ensuring a smooth desk audit submission process.

Our checklist includes:

Definitions and translations to help you understand the key terms used in the 503 focused review scheduling letter.
A task list to help you prepare and proactively review all affirmative action program (AAP) narratives and reports.
A system for identifying key personnel, assigning tasks, and setting internal due dates to keep the process on-track.
Notes to help you understand each technical requirement and what it takes to demonstrate compliance.
