Employment Security is one of three agencies that created a new video, “How to Prepare for an Audit: A Guide for Small Businesses.” Employment Security’s segment focuses on unemployment-insurance tax audits. The video answers basic questions such as, What should I expect when an audit occurs? and How should I maintain my records for unemployment insurance?
