Discovery brief
We confirm which pay cycles, entities, and systems are in scope. You share recent exception reports and a contact for payroll and finance. No work begins until the brief is written and accepted.
The audit process, from first call to handoff
Every engagement follows the same spine so payroll and finance owners know what arrives when—and what they keep afterwards.
Evidence gathering
We collect configuration notes, sample timesheets, approval trails, and reconciliation files. Access is limited to what the engagement needs—nothing more.
Testing & mapping
Depending on the service, we map controls, run risk-weighted samples, recalculate deductions, or tie out gross-to-net and bank files. Findings are logged as they appear.
Findings review
We walk through the findings register with your owners, separate urgent fixes from longer-term automation candidates, and agree wording for any internal audit pack.
Handoff
You receive the artefacts named in the service scope—maps, worksheets, checklists—and a short brief on what to run next cycle. Optional follow-up can be scoped separately.
