Payroll Audit System

The Payroll Audit System developed by Baker Technology Consulting is a solution designed to assist payroll service bureaus in auditing and refining their payroll data. This system is tailored for payroll service bureaus of all sizes, as well as human resources departments, accounting firms, financial services companies, and small and medium-sized businesses. According to the vendor, the Payroll Audit System provides a range of features and customizable audits that can help ensure payroll accuracy and identify potential errors and tax issues in various professional and industry settings.

Key Features

Scheduled Audits: The Payroll Audit System allows users to schedule preconfigured SQL queries to run against the payroll database at customizable intervals. These audits can be customized to meet specific needs, such as identifying incorrect tax setups or invalid birthdates. The results of the audits are sent as HTML reports via email.

Unlimited Number of Audits: With approximately 100 preconfigured audits, the system covers various payroll data issues and helps fulfill SAS70 audit requirements. Users also have the flexibility to create fully customized audits using SQL to analyze data in any payroll database table.

Pre-Process Audits: The Pre-Process Audit feature offers a customized "Payroll Submit" screen where users can execute special SQL queries against the payroll data. Audits can be tailored based on user-defined parameters, such as identifying employees with missing taxes or paychecks exceeding a specified threshold. Users can configure audits as mandatory or approvable, reducing the need for correction payroll runs.

Management Console: The system provides a separate management console for streamlined administration. Users can easily add, edit, and remove audits, access reports on audit status and assignments, and archive or purge log data.

Fully Customizable: All audits in the Payroll Audit System are written in standard T-SQL code, enabling experienced SQL users to modify audit parameters and create fully customized audits to analyze data in any payroll database table.
