Which of the following questions is relevant to auditing recruitment and selection practices?

HRPA’s guidance on recruitment and selection emphasizes standardization and consistency to ensure fairness, legal defensibility, and validity. Auditing R&S practices includes confirming that “selection steps are administered consistently across candidates, jobs, and time,” alongside checks for documentation, reliability/validity evidence, and compliance with human rights legislation.

(A) touches criterion validity, but an audit question first verifies consistent administration before method choice.

(B) job satisfaction is a distal outcome and not a core audit control for selection practice.

(D) budget adherence is a financial audit metric, not a process integrity check for selection practice.
