Audit-ready reports
Scope
THE PROBLEM
Most organizations struggle with organising their data, producing documentation, and the annual scramble to meet compliance deadlines.
Protected class data is incomplete or reported inconsistently.
The same documentation tries to meet the different needs of external and internal stakeholders.
Audits are only completed once a year without any check-ins throughout the year, and the yearly deadline comes around fast.
THE COST
The bill shows up across legal, operations, and your employer brand.
Improper audits and insufficient transparency leaves you vulnerable to penalties.
Poor compliance erodes candidate and market trust.
Not meeting the same standards as your competition puts you at a disadvantage.

FAQs
An AEDT (Automated Employment Decision Tool) is any computational process that substantially assists or replaces human discretion in employment decisions. The key question is whether the tool screens, ranks, or scores candidates or employees.
Local Law 144 requires the audit to be independent. Many organizations engage a third-party auditor to demonstrate independence. Holistic AI can support the analysis and documentation, making third-party review faster and more efficient.
Most audits include selection rates by protected group and impact ratios versus a reference group. The commonly used screening heuristic is the '4/5ths rule' (0.8), though this is not a universal legal standard.
Track 'unknown / not disclosed' explicitly. Never drop rows silently. Document your approach in the audit package. Our platform helps you handle missing data consistently.
Small samples can make ratios unstable. Document this limitation clearly. Consider using a longer time window or appropriate aggregation methods. Our platform flags when sample sizes may affect reliability.
Local Law 144 requires annual audits. We recommend setting a clear renewal cadence with a defined data cutoff window. Our platform helps you track audit schedules and deadlines.
