automatically think of the Eric Prydz song and that video. But we’re looking specifically at how payroll professionals can draw on the strong, close-knit payroll community which has been built up over the years and how you can use the CIPP, your membership organisation, to make the most of the benefits available to you. Help like this can be crucial if you’re struggling with a complex query or trying to get your head round the latest legislation updates. We hear from the amazing Advisory Service team on page 40, as they tell us what it means to them to act as that extra member of your payroll department, and we also hear from the CIPP’s longest-standing tutor on page 42 about just how rewarding teaching and inspiring payroll professionals is. Also, flick to page 34 to hear from a subsidiary of the CIPP, IPP Education Ltd, on the successes and challenges of being an end point assessment organisation over the past 12 months. There’s so much going on! As we head into the new year, this issue’s ‘hot topic’ piece centres on something we all need to be vigilant to, and that is mini-umbrella company fraud. Be prepared and ensure you’re aware of the warning signs to protect your organisation, by turning to page 56 now.
