Audit Process

Contact the Auditor to confirm receipt of the notification of audit. The auditor will clarify any questions or concerns regarding the audit process and/or required documents.

CDLE UI Audits are conducted remotely by uploading documents to a secure document portal. The auditor will provide a box.com link when the audit is confirmed. An in-person audit may be requested.

The length of the audit will vary depending on the number of workers and the condition of business records. Many audits are completed within a week of uploading all required documents. Audits requiring extensive worker research may take a month or more to complete.

The purpose of the audit is to verify the reported employee wages are accurate, workers are correctly classified as independent contractors or employees, all the appropriate reports have been filed, and the information associated with your UI account is correct.

Each CDLE auditor is listed in the State of Colorado Employee Directory.

The majority of audits cover one calendar year. The audit period may be expanded to include multiple years under specific circumstances. The Auditor will provide an explanation if expansion of an audit period is necessary.

The auditor will provide an Audit Report with the Division’s findings when the audit is complete. The Audit Report will contain all relevant findings; however, employers are encouraged to contact the auditor if questions remain or clarification is needed.

Audit adjustments will post to MyUI+ Employer where all account balances should be paid. Contact employer services if a payment plan is needed.

You have the right to appeal the Audit Report decision if you do not agree. If you choose to appeal, you have 20 calendar days from the issue date on the Audit Report. Your appeal must be in writing and should list the reason(s) you disagree with the Division's findings. Appeal instructions are provided on the Liability Determination provided with the Audit Report.

No, the interest will continue to accrue. However, you can opt to pay the balance in full. If you prevail at the hearing, you will be issued a refund.
