What does a Process Review include?
A Process Review involves investigating and documenting a client’s current payroll processes and systems. It aims to identify issues, risks, and opportunities for improvement in the payroll function.
The review includes documenting the as-is process, analysing risks and issues, providing recommendations for enhancement, and creating a future state (to-be) process. It also involves analysing data integration, assessing the value and effort of recommendations, and prioritising them.
The deliverables typically include process analysis, risk identification, prioritisation and waste analysis.
Compliance Assurance
Compliance assurance refers to the process of ensuring that an organisation’s payroll operations adhere to relevant laws, regulations, and policies. It involves conducting assessments to identify any non-compliance issues that could have occurred due to manual payroll processing or the like and take corrective actions. Compliance assurance includes activities such as:
- payroll tax calculations;
- accurate record-keeping;
- timely filing of tax and superannuation;
- adherence to employment laws; and
- proper handling of employee data.
By prioritising compliance, organisations can avoid penalties, legal issues, and reputational damage.
Process Adherence
Process adherence refers to the practice of following established procedures, guidelines, and protocols within an organisation. It involves ensuring that employees consistently adhere to the prescribed steps and standards when performing their tasks.
Process adherence is crucial for maintaining consistency, efficiency, and quality in operations. It includes activities such as following documented workflows, using approved tools and systems, complying with regulatory requirements, and adhering to best practices.
By promoting process adherence, organisations can minimise errors, improve productivity, and achieve desired outcomes.
Early Detection of Risks & Issues
Early detection of risks and issues involves proactively identifying potential problems and vulnerabilities within an organisation’s processes. This service can help identify if the organisation is using the right payroll software for it’s needs.
By implementing effective risk management strategies and utilising tools such as risk registers and issue tracking systems, organisations can identify and address risks and issues before they escalate. Early detection allows for timely intervention, mitigation, and resolution, minimising the impact on operations and ensuring business continuity.

Payroll Health Check – Process Review FAQs
How often should a Process Review be conducted?
The frequency of conducting a Process Review depends on various factors such as the size of your organisation, industry regulations, and any recent changes in your payroll operations.
As a general guideline, it is recommended to conduct a Process Review at least once a year to ensure ongoing compliance, identify emerging risks, and optimise efficiency. However, it is important to assess your specific needs and consult with experts to determine the ideal frequency for your organisation.
Your Title Goes HereHow are payroll controls and security measures evaluated?
Payroll controls and security measures are evaluated through a comprehensive assessment of your existing payroll policies, processes and systems.
This evaluation includes reviewing access controls, segregation of duties, data encryption, authentication protocols, and backup procedures. We also assess the effectiveness of internal controls, such as approval workflows and audit trails.
By examining these aspects, we can identify any vulnerabilities or gaps in your payroll security measures and provide recommendations to strengthen controls and ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your payroll data.
What documents and information are required for a Process Review?
For the Process Review, we require several documents and information. These include completed lists of process owners and subject experts to be contacted, training documentation, checklists, and any other relevant information for process drafting. Additionally, payroll process maps and integration mapping, if already available, are helpful.
These materials provide us with a comprehensive understanding of your current payroll processes and systems, enabling us to conduct a thorough review and provide tailored recommendations for improvement.
