Why an independent audit

Review your EOR costs, terms and service.

Evidence behind every score

Every finding cites the clause, certificate or payroll entry behind it, so your legal team can check the source.

No contingency, no commission

Our fee does not move if you switch, and no money comes from the provider if you do.

The six areas we review

What we check, and what the findings look like.

Entity model & coverage

We name your real employer in each country: the provider's own entity, or a partner firm it pays.

Compliance & audit documents

We check the dates and scope of your provider’s security and privacy assurance documents. We also list the employment responsibilities, indemnities and limits in your agreement, including any country-specific exclusions or questions for legal review.

IP & invention assignment

We quote the IP and invention-assignment clauses, identify the employing and receiving entities, and flag gaps and country-specific questions, including enforceability in each jurisdiction, for qualified legal review.

Currency charges & added fees

The finding here is a dollar figure: what the FX spread on payroll conversions and any fee lines added since signature cost you against the sticker price.

Termination & severance exposure

We identify the termination terms, severance provisions, funding arrangements and allocation of responsibility in your documents, and flag statutory entitlements or liabilities that need local advice.

Data residency & sub-processors

We list the disclosed sub-processors and hosting locations, then flag missing information and questions about access, transfers and data protection. A compliance opinion needs a separate legal review.

Frequently asked

Before you book an audit.

Request audit quote

Why would I audit an EOR I already pay for?

An audit compares what you agreed with what your EOR delivers and charges. It looks for unclear employment responsibilities, missing IP documentation, FX or fee differences and termination provisions that need attention.

Is this independent from the providers you rank?

For this audit engagement, you pay a fixed fee. We receive no provider commission for the audit, and the fee is the same whether you stay or switch. We explain our separate referral and affiliate relationships in how we make money.

What do you actually need from us to run it?

Your master services agreement with the current EOR, a sample country employment contract, a recent payroll run for one or two countries, and your provider’s compliance certifications. Everything is handled under NDA and we return or destroy source documents at the end of the engagement.

How long does the audit take?

Ten business days from receiving the documents to the written findings report. Complex multi-entity stacks across 20+ countries can take longer; you get the timeline before you commit to anything.

What do we get at the end?

A written audit report: a risk rating per domain, the specific evidence behind each finding, the financial exposure where it can be quantified, and a prioritised list of fixes. The audit stops at the diagnosis. If you decide to switch, the EOR Switch service can run the migration.

Will you tell us to switch providers?

We recommend switching only when the evidence shows the cost or risk of staying is clearly higher, because switching has real cost and disruption for the people on payroll.
