Have you ever considered having an audit carried out on your payroll?
Did you know that the Revenue Commissioners collected €26.44 billion in PAYE/PRSI/USC in 2017 and the yield from audit and compliance interventions in 2017 was €491.9 million? How confident are you that your payroll calculations are correct and should Revenue carry out a Compliance Intervention that there would be nothing to find?
There is more to payroll than paying your employees on time. While many payroll professionals have complete faith in their payroll software, there are payroll calculations that must be prepared outside of payroll software which must adhere to strict legislation. As payroll calculations are largely repetitive in nature, your organisation may benefit from having a payroll audit carried out to ensure that everything has been calculated correctly!
The audit will be carried out by IPASS payroll consultants who have unrivalled knowledge and experience in the operation and calculation of PAYE, PRSI, USC and employment legislation.
Audits are generally carried out between 10.00am – 4.30pm
All information will be treated with strict confidentiality.
