Why is Immigration Auditing, Training & Compliance Important?
If your business is an approved Accredited Sponsor or Standard Business Sponsor you have sponsorship obligations that you are required to comply with.
Compliance with Australia’s complex immigration laws is vital for organisations that employ visa holding staff.
Data matching between the Department of Home Affairs (DHA), the Australian Tax Office (ATO) and other government agencies increases the exposure to organisations that may not be comprehensively complaint with their immigration obligations and compliance requirements.
Failing to comply with these obligations can result in significant financial penalties of up to $250,000 and restrictions on sponsoring further overseas employees.
A comprehensive audit of your business from an immigration compliance standpoint will ensure your business is remaining compliant with its obligations as a Standard Business Sponsor, maintaining proper records, and is monitoring visa-holding populations of your staff.
