Course Description

Periodic internal payroll audits can help you make sure your organization complies with employment and tax laws. They are also key to verifying payroll record accuracy—and fixing errors before the IRS or another agency find them for you.

So who should conduct your audit — someone in-house or a third party? Regardless of the route you choose, you need to know ALL the steps to leave no stone unturned.

Join us as our presenter, a skilled employment tax consultant, will teach you how to conduct a successful payroll audit, so you'll be armed to identify compliance mistakes, spot fraud, and devise a plan to correct payroll issues.


Participate in this interactive webinar and you’ll learn:


  • Recognize how to verify who has access to your payroll system.

  • Identify how to spot “phantom” employees who might be collecting paychecks.

  • Identify where to find relevant information to verify employees’ salaries, raises, and supplemental payments, such as bonuses and commissions.

  • Recognize how to ensure that mandatory deductions—such as wage garnishments and payroll taxes—are being made.

  • Where your pay practices could be running afoul of the Fair Labor Standards Act.

  • What to watch for when reviewing expense reimbursements and fringe benefits.

  • Data security vulnerabilities you have to guard against.

  • Payroll recordkeeping best practices.

  • What to include in your written payroll audit findings report.


Bonus: For attending this event, you’ll also receive checklists on:


  • The most common types of payroll fraud.

  • What to look for when evaluating payroll systems!
