CHAPTER 2
About the Study
INTRODUCTION - HR AUDIT:
11
HRM includes different functions like HRP, job analysis and design, recruitment, selection,
induction, performance appraisal, safety and health, welfare, industrial relations and many
more. These functions are performed in furtherance of certain social, functional and personal
objectives.
DEFINITION - HR AUDIT:
HR Audit means the systematic verification of job analysis and design, recruitment and
selection, orientation and placement, training and development, performance appraisal and job
evaluation, employee and executive remuneration, motivation and morale, participative
management, communication, welfare and social security, safety and health, industrial
relations, trade unionism, and disputes and their resolution. HR audit is very much useful to
achieve the organizational goal and also is a vital tool which helps to assess the effectiveness of
HR functions of an organization.
APPROACHES TO HR AUDIT:
12
1: Comparative approach:
In this, the auditors identify Competitor Company as the model. The results of their
organization are compared with that of the model company/industry.
2.Outside authority:
In this, the auditors use standards set by an outside consultant as benchmark for comparison of
own results.
3.Statisticalapproach:
In this, statistical measures are performance is developed considering the companys existing
information.
4. Compliance approach:
In this, auditors review past actions to calculate whether those activities comply with legal
requirements and industry policies and procedures.
SCOPE OF AUDIT:
13
Generally, no one can measure the attitude of human being. Hr audit must cover the activities
of the department and extend beyond because employees’ problems are not confined to the
HR department alone. So it is very much broad in nature. It should evaluate the personnel
function, the use of its procedures by the managers and the impact of these activities on the
employees. It covers the following HR areas:
1. Audit of HR function:
This involves audit of all HR activities. For each activity, auditor must
(i) determine the objective of each activity, (ii) identify who isresponsible for its performance,
(iii) review the performance, (iv) develop an action plan to correct deviation, if any (v) follow up
the action plan.
3. Audit of HR climate:
The Hr climate has an impact on employee motivation, morale and job satisfaction. The quality
can be measured by examining employee turnover,absenteeism, safety records and attitude
surveys.
Employee turnover
Absenteeism
Accidents
Attitude surveys
BENEFITS OF HR AUDIT:
14
The team that is responsible for the audit should represent a cross-section of the organization
staff, including line staff, middle and upper management and those responsible for HR
functions. It provides the various benefits to the organization. These are:
1. Getting the top management to think in terms of strategic and long-term business plans
2. Clarifying the role of the HRD department and line managers in HRD
3. Streamlining of other management practices
4. Better recruitment policies and more professional staff
5. Changes in the styles of top management
6. Improvements in HRD systems
7. More planning and more cost-effective training
8. Increased focus on human resources and human competencies
9. Strengthening accountabilities through appraisal systems and other mechanisms
10. TQM interventions
HR AUDIT PROCESS:
15
The HR audit process is conducted in different phases. Each phase is designed to build upon the
preceding phase so that the organization will have a very strong overviewof the health of
the HR function, at the conclusion of the audit.
1. Pre-Audit Information:
This phase involves the acquiring and review of relevant HR manuals, handbooks, forms,
reports and other information. A pre-audit information request is forwarded to the
Client who compiles the necessary information for review by auditors.
2.Pre-Audit Self-Assessment:
In order to maximize the time spent duringsubsequent portions of the audit, a pre-audit self-
assessment form, if sent to theclient can be of use. The self-administered yes/no questionnaire
asks a number of questions about current HR policies and practices. The completion of this self-
administered questionnaire allows auditors to identify key areas for focus duringthe HR audit.
3.On-site Review:
This phase involves an on-site visit at the client’s facilityinterviewing staff regarding HR policies
and practices. A very in-depth HR audit checklist is completed.
4. Records Review:
During the on-site visit, a separate review is conducted of HR records and postings. Employee
personnel files are randomly examined as well ascompensation, employee claims, disciplinary
actions, grievances and other relevantHR related information are checked.
5. Audit Report:
The information gathered is used to develop an HR audit report.The audit report categorizes
action needs into three separate areas. The areas thatare urgent and important (UI), not urgent
needs but important (NUI), not urgent butnot important needs (NNI)), and important
opportunities needs (IO). As a result of this scheme of classification, managements can
prioritize their steps.
16
6. The critical areas:
The comprehensive HR audit covers all areas of HR management like recruitment practices,
training and development, compensation and benefits, employee and union relations,
health, safety and security, miscellaneous HR policies and practices-welfare, strategic HR issues,
manpower planning/budgeting. Besides classifying needs in each of the above areas, the
HR audit also cites relevant laws, cases and research to support the recommendations.
8. Data gathering:
Completion of a self-assessment questionnaire significantlyexpedites the audit process and
allows for better audit planning.
9. On-site access:
The on-site portion of the audit is the most critical.
17
Recognized as setting the standard in HR auditing, the new edition of the ELLA theEmployment-
Labor Law Audit™, the leading HR auditing tool, incorporates the fivecritical components of an
HR audit into the HR audit process. These five criticalcomponents, which should be addressed
in every HR audit, are shown and discussed below in the HR Audit Model.
1. Activities
2. Behaviors
3. Risk Assessment
4. Internal Controls
5. Outcomes

HR AUDIT QUESTIONNAIRE
With human resources audit becoming a mandatory annual undertaking in most organizations,
there is no denying the vital role that the HR audit questionnaire plays. The HR audit is
conducted for purposes of gauging the overall well-being of the human resource (workforce) in
an organization. Through data compiled from such audits, the HR department is then able to
figure any lapses or gaps that may exist in the workforce. The audit is also vital in comparing set
systems, policies and targets with implementation. In addition, the HR department is able to
determine if the organization is sufficiently staffed, whether the HR resources are maximally
utilized and whether the workforce complies with set industry laws. Following is the example of
audit questionnaire:
Employee Name______________ Date of Employment_______ Dept._________
27
e. I was just called for the job without any interviews
Q2. Have you ever been involved in training and development activities since joining this
organization? _________

CONCLUSION
The Human Resources (HR) Audit is a process of examining policies, procedures,
documentation, systems, and practices with respect to an organization’s HR functions. The
purpose of the audit is to reveal the strengths and weaknesses in the nonprofit’s human
resources system, and any issues needing resolution. The audit works best when the
focus is on analyzing and improving the HR function in the organization.
HR audit also helps companies to figure out any gaps or lapses and the reason for the same.
Since every company plans certain systems and targets, an HR audit compares the plans to
actual implementation.
The concept of HR audit has emerged from the practice of yearly finance and accounting audit,
which is mandatory for every company, to be done by external statutory auditors. This audit
serves as an examination on a sample basis of practices and systems for identifying problems
and ensuring that sound accounting principles are followed. Similarly, an HR audit serves as a
means through which an organization can measure the health of its human resource function.
