Happy November everyone. We’re really getting into winter now, with festive coffees, dark, cold mornings and evenings and – dare I mention it – even Christmas trees starting to appear. It was great to network with so many of you at our Annual Conference and Exhibition, which was another fantastic two days full of training and updates. Compliance is a huge risk in payroll, from HM Revenue and Customs audits to the pension regulator checks, as well as potential tribunal claims and the financial impacts of getting it wrong giving many chief executive officers sleepless nights. There are, however, some key ways you can mitigate risk of compliance: l develop and educate your payroll team l support formal qualifications l keep the payroll team up to date with the latest changes, including attending webinars and networking sessions l read Professional magazine l make use of all your membership benefits including News Online and our advisory service. There are lots of tips and advice in this issue that can help take the headache away from compliance and embed good practice processes into your payroll teams. Remember to use the benefits of your membership. The CIPP is here to help, so please get in touch.

CEO’s message
As this issue arrives in your letterbox or email inbox, the celebrations of National Payroll Week and the Annual Conference and Exhibition 2024 will be a memory. However, the drive for compliance, lifelong learning and the promotion of the profession continues at a pace. The CIPP’s collaboration with the Youth Group is moving forward
and the release of “understanding your payslip” collateral is underway. Using this partnership approach is a way of providing greater financial awareness among the broad community that the Youth Group serves. Youth Group supports young people starting work, as well as reaching those who may in future consider payroll as a career choice. I am also due to attend a radio show (Rangoli Radio) for a session that has more than 450,000 listeners across the Leeds area. If you have ideas or thoughts on other ways to promote the profession and drive awareness, please do share them. My contact details are below and I would be delighted to hear on how better I can serve you. Compliance is the theme of this issue, and I am still surprised how many payroll professionals working in industry today don’t know about the benefits that membership of a professional body such as ours provides to them. The importance of compliance is something that I will promote with all industry leaders, especially those in a position of responsibility for their labour force. As I write this comment, I’m reminded that some people look at the journey and the destination separately, whereas I think, regardless of where you are, the importance is on the company you keep and the relationships you build throughout. Best wishes to you all.
