In-House DIR/DLSE Compliance Audit

Since the DIR can go back as far as eighteen (18) months from the final completion of a project, fines and penalties can compound for each day the infractions remain outstanding. Knowing this, PWCA’s legal team will audit then correct those infractions that can be corrected and mitigate on those infractions that can’t be corrected. The key is to have PWCA audit your past projects before the DIR does.
