The Industry Problem

Why 73% of LL144 Audits Fail

Most organizations discover compliance gaps only after regulators come knocking. Here's why traditional audit approaches fall short.

67%

Conflict of Interest

of audits are conducted by firms that also provide consulting services, creating inherent conflicts that undermine audit independence.

54%

Inadequate Methodology

of audits use surface-level analysis that fails to detect subtle algorithmic bias patterns across protected categories.

73%

Compliance Theater

of first-time LL144 audits fail to meet regulatory standards, treating compliance as a checkbox exercise rather than genuine bias detection.

Don't become a statistic. Get an independent assessment of your compliance readiness.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions procurement and legal teams ask most often.

Our audit methodology is specifically designed around NYC DCWP requirements and guidance. We maintain ongoing relationships with regulatory bodies and update our methodology as guidance evolves. Every audit includes documentation formatted for regulatory submission, and we provide support if regulators have follow-up questions.
We maintain strict independence by never providing consulting, implementation, or remediation services to audit clients. Our sole business is independent auditing. This eliminates the conflicts of interest that plague Big Four firms who audit systems they helped implement.
Yes. We provide redacted sample audit reports during the evaluation process so you can assess our methodology, documentation quality, and deliverable format. Contact us to request sample materials for your legal and procurement teams to review.
Pricing is based on the number of AI hiring systems being audited, data volume, and complexity—not the number of locations. A company using one ATS across 50 locations pays the same as a single-location company using that same system. We provide custom quotes for enterprise engagements.
Our audit identifies issues before regulators do. If bias is detected, we provide detailed remediation guidance (though not implementation services, to maintain independence). You can address issues and request a re-audit. Most clients achieve compliance within one remediation cycle.
Yes. Our Strategic Partnership tier includes expert witness services. For other tiers, expert witness support is available as an add-on. Our auditors are qualified to testify about methodology, findings, and industry standards in employment discrimination litigation.
Standard LL144 compliance audits take 5-7 weeks from kickoff to certification. This includes data collection (1 week), analysis (2 weeks), human review (1 week), and reporting (1-2 weeks). Expedited timelines are available for urgent compliance needs.
We require historical hiring decision data from your AI systems, including applicant demographics (where available), screening scores, and outcomes. All data transfer occurs through SOC 2 compliant infrastructure with encryption in transit and at rest. We can work with anonymized data where legally required.
