Payroll Assurance Scheme

With UK payroll services accounting for up to £12 billion in payroll fraud, * the CIPP’s Payroll Assurance Scheme (PAS) offers peace of mind to all who work with the industry or are seeking payroll services.

The Payroll Assurance Scheme is the prestigious gold standard for both people and payroll processes and is the much-coveted kitemark in the payroll industry.

What does the assessment involve? The assessment reviews both your organisations payroll processes, and your payroll team. Module one - your processes ● Checks that appropriate controls are in place to reduce the potential for payroll errors. ● All payroll processes are fit for purpose for the company’s requirements. ● Suitable processes are in place for preparing for legislative and organisational changes. ● The CIPP Payroll Assurance Scheme process will also highlight areas for development and improvement. ● The process features multiple structured in- depth questions and document checks on your payroll and associated processes. Module two - your people ● Diagnosis of skills levels and learning and development needs. ● Review of appraisals and objectives that link into the organisation’s overall mission and vision. ● The scheme measures whether learning and development undertaken has been effectively to encourage life-long learning.

Why volunteer for the PAS kitemark? As the only voluntary accreditation on the market to be developed in partnership with HMRC, the scheme is designed to identify risks to a business arising from skills gaps or inadequate processes and is a huge accolade for payroll staff, once accreditation has been achieved. With the scheme examining over 60 facets of the payroll operation, and consistently evolving with the help of CIPP’s policy and research team, who are at the forefront of any changes to the payroll industry, you can be assured you are gaining a high quality, much sought after accreditation. “The PAS accreditation from the CIPP is a prestigious scheme which represents the gold standard for both people and payroll processes. We’re incredibly proud that our MHR team has achieved this, and it’s testament to the daily work and dedication of our colleagues, constantly at the forefront of any changes to the payroll industry”.
