    That Knock at The Door That Ain’t The Avon Lady

    Don’t worry — we provide support and assistance with payroll-related government audits. We’ll also review your current processes and provide guidance to remediate potential tax and compliance violations. 

    By partnering with Ignite HCM, we can’t guarantee that you’ll never get a visit from the man, but if he does show up, we’ll shorten his stay.

    The Best Defense is a Good Offense

    A periodic audit — annually at a minimum — is a preventative measure you can take to identify and mitigate unforeseen risk and ensure you are in compliance. Ignite HCM helps with all HCM audits; payroll is the most popular.

    Step 1

    Verify Who is Being Paid

    We’ll go through your payroll records with a fine-tooth comb to:

    • Review the employment status of each employee on your payroll
    • Remove employees who no longer work for you
    • Verify that only those who worked were paid
    Step 2

    Analyze Your Payroll Numbers

    Promotions, bonuses and salary increases occur throughout the year. It’s import to:

    • Ensure pay rates are up-to-date in the system
    • Salary, OT, tax deductions and withholdings are accurate
    • Review deductions and pay for each employee are accurate for every pay period
    Step 3

    Verify Time Categories

    PTO is a challenge. Sometimes it’s near impossible to get your policy and payroll system in alignment. We’ll:

    • Verify that your paid leave categories are labeled correctly
    • Confirm your accruals and calculations are accurate in payroll
    • Check to ensure employees haven’t been over or underpaid
    Step 4

    Reconcile Payroll Records

    Updating the general ledger (GL) can be time-consuming and error-prone if you’re doing it manually. Our audit includes:

    • Payroll and GL comparison
    • Validation that payroll expenses in the GL match the payroll audit findings
    • Review to ensure GL automation tools are configured and transmitting accurate data
    Step 5

    Confirm Accuracy of Tax Withholdings & Remittance

    This critical step can avoid costly mistakes. We’ll make sure:

    • Correct taxes were withheld from each employee’s wages
    • Verify the accuracy of payroll reports like your IRS forms 941 and W-2
    • All wages and tax withholding amounts on payroll reports match payroll records
