What the Audit Delivers

Every engagement runs on a documented, versioned methodology and ends in a written report with evidence behind every line. Here is what lands on your desk.

Standard · 2 Weeks

POSH Audit (Standard)

  • An audit charter: a one-page document fixing scope, team, and timeline before any fieldwork starts
  • A 12-parameter compliance assessment: POSH policy and dissemination, IC constitution and functioning, external member, complaint channels, SHe-Box registration, employee awareness, workplace notices, annual reports filed with the District Officer, inquiry timelines, employer obligations, and remote-work coverage
  • Each parameter rated Green, Yellow, or Red, with the evidence reviewed cited against it
  • IC composition checked against the prescribed structure: at least four members, half of them women, a senior woman presiding, and an external member appointed
  • Gap analysis: every Yellow and Red finding traced to a root cause (5-Why on critical gaps) and rated for legal exposure, employee impact, inspection risk, and reputational risk
  • A recommendations matrix: specific actions for the next 7 days, 30 days, and 90 days, each with an owner and an expected outcome
  • An inspection readiness score: whether your team could produce each required document on demand
  • A monitoring checklist your HR and IC can run monthly, so the fixes stay fixed
Comprehensive · 4 Weeks

POSH Audit (Comprehensive)

Everything in the Standard audit, plus:

  • Anonymised employee interviews: 10 to 15 people across departments and seniority levels, at least 40% women employees, including contract and field staff where applicable
  • Behavioral assessment of awareness and reporting confidence: what employees actually know and would actually do, tested in private interviews
  • Pattern analysis: what the cluster of gaps says about your compliance culture, benchmarked against industry patterns
  • A 90-day remediation roadmap: weekly milestones, dependencies, resource requirements, and quick wins prioritised
  • An executive debrief for leadership, in addition to the written report
POCSO · 2 Weeks

POCSO Compliance Audit

For institutions working with minors: schools, coaching centres, residential facilities.

  • The 12 POSH parameters, plus ten child-safety parameters: child protection policy, management committee, staff background verification, mandatory reporting protocol, staff training, child safety procedures, parent communication, transport safety, CCTV coverage, and anti-retaliation
  • The same evidence-referenced gap analysis, risk ratings, and recommendations matrix
  • A written POCSO compliance report, reviewed and signed by the Lead Auditor
Training

Scenario-Based Training & IC Simulations

  • Half-day scenario-based sessions and live IC roleplay simulations that test real-time decision-making under pressure
  • A behavioral assessment for every participant; no certificate without passing the simulation
  • A capability assessment report for each IC member
  • Attendance and assessment records you can produce in an inspection as proof of training

How the Audit Runs

Both audit tiers run the same five-phase DMAIC sequence, adapted from Six Sigma for compliance auditing. The difference is depth: a wider interview sample, behavioral assessment, pattern analysis, and the 90-day roadmap.

The Two-Week Standard Audit

  • Define (Days 1–2): scope, locations, and interview sample confirmed; audit charter issued
  • Measure (Days 3–5): every parameter tested against documents and evidence, not assurances
  • Analyze (Days 6–8): each Yellow and Red finding traced to a root cause and risk-rated
  • Improve (Days 9–10): recommendations fixed to 7-day, 30-day, and 90-day horizons
  • Control (Days 11–12): monitoring checklist handed over; report reviewed, signed, and delivered

The Four-Week Comprehensive Audit

  • Week 1: organisation profile: headcount, locations, shift patterns, remote and field staff, distribution of women employees, existing POSH infrastructure
  • Week 2: measurement at depth: the 12 parameters plus 10 to 15 anonymised employee interviews, at least 40% of them women employees
  • Week 3: analysis: behavioral assessment, gap clustering, and pattern analysis against industry benchmarks
  • Week 4: the 90-day remediation roadmap, monitoring framework, signed report, and executive debrief

What your team provides: one point of contact; the documents listed in the engagement letter (POSH policy and dissemination proof, IC constitution and appointment letters, meeting minutes, complaint and inquiry records where any exist, training records, annual reports filed with the District Officer, SHe-Box registration details); photographs of the workplace notices; and interview time in a private room or on a private video call. The framework, checklists, and analysis are ours.

What the Output Looks Like

One finding from a compliance report, redacted and anonymised. Illustrative: it shows the format and the voice, not a real client.

Gap #4 · IC Functionality  |  Status: Red (Non-Compliant)

Evidence reviewed: IC constitution letter dated [redacted]; no meeting minutes on file for the 12 months preceding the audit; employee interview responses coded A through H.

Finding: A written POSH policy exists and was circulated to all employees; Parameter 1 is Green. The Internal Committee named in it has never convened. Members hold appointment letters and nothing else: no meetings, no minutes, no annual report filed with the District Officer. Six of eight employees interviewed could not name a single IC member or describe how to file a complaint. The policy is real. The committee exists on paper.

Root cause (5-Why): No one was assigned ownership of the committee. Management was not aware of the employer duties under the Act. No compliance training had reached them. No compliance function exists in the organisation. The organisation has outgrown informal management without building compliance infrastructure.

Risk rating: High.

Immediate action (7 days): convene the IC; publish the complaint channels to every employee. Short-term action (30 days): train IC members on inquiry procedure and the 90-day inquiry timeline. Long-term action (90 days): file the pending annual reports; place the monitoring checklist in the HR calendar.

Illustrative finding, adapted and redacted. Names, dates, and identifying details have been removed or altered.

Who Signs the Report

Rashi Mathur, Lead Auditor. 17 years of Quality and Training leadership, Six Sigma Master Black Belt, certified POSH professional.

Standard and Comprehensive POSH audits are conducted by Rashi against EWR’s documented audit methodology. Where a junior auditor runs the fieldwork, on small-organisation audits and POCSO audits, Rashi reviews the draft against a written checklist and signs the final report. No report leaves EWR without review and signature. The methodology itself is documented and versioned, so any finding can be traced back to the parameter, the evidence, and the analysis behind it.

What the Audit Is, and What It Is Not

Stated up front, so you know exactly what you are buying.

What this audit is: an independent compliance assessment. We test your POSH and POCSO setup against a documented methodology, report findings with cited evidence, and hand you a remediation roadmap with owners and timelines. We also train your people, and on retainer, Rashi Mathur serves as External Member on your Internal Committee.

What this audit is not: legal representation or a legal opinion. EvolveWithRashi is not a law firm and does not appear before courts or tribunals. The audit is not litigation support, and findings are not legal advice; where a matter needs a lawyer, we will tell you so. Complaint handling support is procedural: your Internal Committee remains the decision-making body, and the inquiry stays with the IC.

Engagement, payment, and delivery terms are governed by our Terms & Conditions and Refund Policy. Reports are confidential, carry no employee names, and personal data is processed only for the purpose of the audit, as described in our Privacy Policy.
