Team planning an audit engagement timeline on a whiteboard

Engagement process

How a payroll audit review moves from first call to a signed-off findings memo.

  1. 1. Intake

    We confirm headcount, months under review, upcoming inspection or close dates, and who from HR and finance will join working sessions. You receive a document list within one business day.

  2. 2. Document transfer

    Payroll registers, employee master file, attendance exports, contribution remittance proofs, and bank payment batches move through a secure channel we agree on the intake call. Incomplete packs pause the clock.

  3. 3. Exception testing

    We sample contracts against payslips, check statutory deduction bases, and build reconciling items between HR status and finance expense. Questions go to named contacts, not a shared inbox.

  4. 4. Joint workshop

    A scheduled session walks both departments through open exceptions. Owners and due dates are assigned before the meeting ends whenever possible.

  5. 5. Findings memo

    You receive a written memo with ranked exceptions, suggested corrections, and items left open. We hold a short walkthrough; the engagement closes when the memo is accepted.
