WELCOME FROMTHECIPP KENPULLARFCIPP CIPP CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Ken opened the CIPP’s 2020 Annual Conference and Exhibition thanking delegates on behalf of himself, the CIPP board and wider team for taking the time to attend the event. He followed by extending thanks to the exhibitors and sponsors. Starting with conference headline sponsor Workday and keynote and motivational sessions sponsor Sage. Thanks then followed for the other conference sponsors; Access People, ADP, BDO, the Canadian Payroll Association, Ceridian, Cintra, Cloudpay, Frontier Software, Intelligo, Moorepay, NEST, OneSource Virtual, Reward Strategy, Selenity Expenses, The Payroll Centre, and Western Union Business Solutions. Ken commented: “All these sponsors are excellent organisations to have in your network, whether you have a need for their services now or sometime in the future, and we are truly appreciative of their support of this event.” Ken welcomed and extended thanks to the online attendance of the CIPP’s international counterparts: the American Payroll Association, the Canadian Payroll Association, the Irish Payroll Association, and the Australian Payroll Association. Observing that “2020 has been a challenging year”, Ken added that the industry has “had to adapt quickly and professionally to changes at incredibly short-notice and implement new legislation and guidance compliantly within our organisations with little notice.”

Taking the opportunity to record his appreciation of the CIPP’s policy and advisory team for the support they have provided the profession over the last twelve months; Ken said
“Through our policy team we are continuing to represent you to clarify government’s guidance as it is issued, often at short-notice and without the advantage of advanced consultation. We have been running, and continue to run, webcasts to deliver information to the payroll community and issue factsheets to support you. The Advisory Team has supported members, receiving, quite literally, thousands of enquiries each month.” Ken provided an update of CIPP developments, such as moving some 2020 events to 2021 and involvement in apprenticeships, and noted that this year’s “National Payroll Week, despite moving to an online event, was perhaps one of the most successful yet! It seems that the world suddenly realised how important payroll professionals are – hmm, I wonder why!”
An important message Ken expressed is that the CIPP will “continue to work behind the scenes to champion the work of payroll professionals and ensure that you are recognised for the value you bring to your employers and the wider economy”.
