Letter From the Executive Director - Audit 2024
To All Licensed Private Security Companies,
Dear Private Security Industry Professionals,
We hope this letter finds you well. As part of our ongoing commitment to ensuring compliance and integrity within the private security industry, we are initiating the annual audit process for all security companies that held an active company license in 2024.
As we begin this audit year, please be advised of the following key steps and expectations:
- Documentation Request: Your company will receive an initial email requesting specific documents, such as payroll records, employee earnings reports, and other necessary documentation. These records must be submitted to the agency within seven (7) business days of the request.
- Compliance Visit Scheduling: Following a review of your submitted documentation, your company will receive an email to schedule a visit with a compliance investigator. This visit will provide an opportunity for our staff to answer any questions and review your company's current roster to address to ensure compliance moving forward.
- Audit Resolutions: After reviewing payroll records and determining preliminary findings, if applicable, your company will have two (2) weeks to provide documentation to dispute any findings.
- If no findings are determined, the company owner will receive a letter confirming compliance.
- If findings are identified, an informal conference will be scheduled to review outstanding violations. A consent agreement will then be drafted by the Board's legal counsel and submitted for final approval by the Board.
We have thoroughly reviewed our 2023 audit process and have made significant improvements. By implementing an efficient structure and clear deadlines, we aim to conduct our duties with the utmost consideration for all companies while ensuring accountability and compliance across the industry.
We appreciate your cooperation and commitment to maintaining high standards and integrity within the private security industry. We look forward to working with you throughout this process and value your partnership.
If you have any questions or require further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact our office.
Sincerely,
Major Carl Saizan (Ret. LSP)
Executive Director
