The full list can be found on the OFCCP\u2019s website <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dol.gov\/agencies\/ofccp\/scheduling-list\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The agency is required to select contractors for audits through an \u201cadministratively neutral\u201d process. While it is not technically random, it does prevent the agency from targeting employers. And as the OFCCP likes to remind us, they are under no obligation to provide information regarding how contractors are selected for audit, but they do so as a courtesy and you can read all about it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dol.gov\/agencies\/ofccp\/scheduling\/Methodologies\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CSAL just lists audits that are \u201cin the queue,\u201d in that they can be scheduled any time, but have not yet. Recently the OFCCP began publishing a list of <em>scheduled<\/em> audits, so if you want to know whether or not they have actually sent the audit letter, you can check the list <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dol.gov\/agencies\/ofccp\/foia\/Scheduled-Reviews\">here<\/a>, but it is only updated on a monthly basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new list contains 500 establishments (or functions, for those who prepare functional affirmative action plans). Thirty of those are Corporate Management Compliance Evaluations (CMCEs), which is a regular audit, but with an additional focus on potential \u201cglass ceiling\u201d issues in upper management. Often these are referred to as a \u201cheadquarters\u201d review, because they typically occur at the organization\u2019s corporate headquarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also 24 functional audits on the list, along with six \u201cuniversity\u201d audits. The university audit is an entirely new type of audit that you won\u2019t find enumerated in the OFCCP\u2019s regulations (they kind of just made it up). In a university audit, the agency still sends the audit list to a particular location but demands all AAPs covering the entire \u201ccampus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The OFCCP does not \u201csunset\u201d entries from prior CSALs and intends to get to them all. Think of the CSAL as the OFCCP\u2019s gas tank. When it starts to get low, they fill back up, but they eventually use every drop of gas that goes into the tank. So, if your organization has appeared on a prior CSAL but the audit hasn\u2019t been initiated yet, don\u2019t worry, it will be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you are on this or any previous CSAL and are anticipating an audit letter, there is no time like the present to start getting things buttoned-down at the establishment or function that will come under review. The OFCCP also likes to remind us they are under no obligation to provide contractors with this \u201cheads-up,\u201d so we should be grateful, and <em>prepared<\/em> when the audit does kick off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They have a point. Go and check the CSAL and see if you are on it. If you are, start preparing now for federal law enforcement scrutiny.
