Background: 

We were engaged to conduct a comprehensive Payroll Compliance Audit by a leading Australian not-for-profit organisation . The organisation’s primary concern was ensuring compliance with current awards and legislation. With three specific awards under scrutiny, they were facing gaps in their payroll processes, potentially exposing them to significant legal risks. 

Objectives: 

Our goals for the audit were to: 

  • Ensure the organisation’s award interpretation and payroll processes aligned with the latest legal requirements. 
  • Identify compliance gaps and areas of risk. 
  • Provide a strategic roadmap to address these issues and mitigate operational risks. 

How the Results Were Achieved: 

We took a meticulous approach, thoroughly reviewing the organisation’s awards and payroll processes. Our key actions included: 

  1. Conducting an in-depth review of the three specific awards, identifying compliance gaps and risks. 
  2. Developing clear and actionable recommendations tailored to the organisation’s needs. 
  3. Delivering a strategic roadmap to resolve compliance issues swiftly. 
  4. Engaging closely with the client to ensure potential legal risks were fully understood and prioritised for immediate action. 

Key Results: 

  • We identified critical compliance gaps across three awards, which were not aligned with current legislation. 
  • We provided a comprehensive strategic roadmap, offering practical, step-by-step solutions to address these gaps and minimise risks. 
  • We highlighted key areas requiring urgent action, enabling the organisation to protect itself from potential legal consequences. 

By leveraging our payroll compliance expertise, we helped the client proactively address their compliance challenges, ultimately improving their operational efficiency and safeguarding the organisation from legal exposure.
