Payroll Audit

Commencement of Financial year

A payroll audit should be done at the commencement of each new tax year to ensure that all the payroll parameters are correctly updated from the outset.  This will ensure that:

• tax and other computations are correctly made throughout the year
• Transaction Codes are setup using the correct category
• contributions to third parties, such as NSSA and NEC are correct.
• there is compliance with internal policies eg. leave and overtime parameters.
