Incorporated in March 2007, ISL Consultants is a full-service consulting firm specializing in I-9 Compliance Assessments, Compliance Audits, and Training in the Detection of Counterfeit Identity and Employment Eligibility Documents commonly seen when completing the I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification form.

Michael G. Riebau, a former Homeland Security Investigations (“HSI”) Senior Special Agent of the United States Department of Homeland Security ("DHS"), founded ISL with an invested interest to help businesses find solutions to I-9 compliance vulnerabilities. With a stellar 33-year career in Immigration Enforcement and with extensive experience and training in document fraud, ISL professionals offer expert advice to businesses and companies in the proper preparation and maintenance of I-9’s and in the identification and detection of counterfeit identity and employment eligibility documents seen during I-9 review.

Committed to excellence, ISL will provide your business with an accurate and professional I-9 assessment and compliance audit unrivaled in the business. Unlike other I-9 reviews, ISL offers you a trusted and respected former government agent who with extensive training, experience, and institutional knowledge, will identify concerns and correct compliance vulnerabilities before government investigators enter your business. Few consulting firms provide you with the experience and expertise that ISL offers. Have the audit and compliance review done by a trusted and respected compliance expert who will help your business identify vulnernabilites and become "Audit Ready" BEFORE government investigators enter your business looking for compliance violations.

A former DHS special agent will provide your Human Resource staff with unique training in the methods by which counterfeit social security and permanent resident cards can be detected. In recent years the proliferation of counterfeit documents has flourished. Included with your training is a patented ISL Fraud Detection Kit that with proper instruction will enable your staff to identify counterfeit social security and permanent resident cards, Temporary I-551 employment authorized stamps, and counterfeit State Identification Cards and Driver Licenses with 95% accuracy. Don’t be fooled! Identify and defeat those who choose to defraud you and your business with counterfeit documents and false identities before they enter the workforce. Identity theft and document fraud have emerged as the fastest growing crimes in the United States.

The ICE Mutual Agreement Between Government and Employers (IMAGE) Program encourages employers and businesses to arrange for an annual I-9 Audit that is performed by an external auditing firm or a trained professional not otherwise involved in the I-9 verification process. An ISL compliance assessment, audit, and training will enable your business to demonstrate good faith and due diligence essential to ensure a safe harbor defense should the government take enforcement action against you. It is clear that employers and their workers are the targets of government worksite enforcement efforts. The government offered E-Verify System to which you may subscribe does not identify employees involved in identity theft and document fraud. The ISL approach to full compliance will significantly reduce your vulnerability to criminal charges, government fines, and the loss of your business license, leading to negative public exposure and other adverse market reactions.

Don’t wait for government agents to enter your business looking for unauthorized workers who through document fraud have entered your workplace without your knowledge. Before government intervention exacerbates an already serious problem, have a trained ISL professional identify your vulnerabilities and provide effective solutions to your I-9 concerns. Let ISL help you achieve full compliance with state and federal worksite laws.
