YOUR VOTE
THE CIPP’s Payroll Assurance Scheme (PAS) is designed to test payroll processing and compliance, along with people skills and development opportunities. One of the most crucial elements is ensuring business continuity plans are in place and effective, should they be required. Congratulations to all organisations that have achieved this accreditation and been able to put those plans into action.
Special congratulations to our recently accredited organisations: l University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust l Skanska UK PLC l The Chartered Institute of Payroll Professionals.
Ken Pullar, CIPP chief executive officer, said: “Congratulations to those organisations that have attained PAS accreditation. They’ve clearly demonstrated their sound payroll processes, knowledge and skills. This is imperative in the payroll profession, as reacting quickly to ever- changing legislation and guidance is crucial.” We reported in the February issue of Professional how Eque2 Limited, IRIS FMP (Cascade) (Leeds) and Anderson Anderson & Brown LLP (AAB) recently received PAS reaccreditation. Speaking about the accreditation, Richard Boston, marketing director, at Eque 2 Limited, said: “We’re delighted to again receive recognition from the PAS for our Miracle payroll software. The award is testament to the quality of our solution and the people working behind the scenes at Eque2 to make sure our software and the payroll services we provide to our customers remain best in class. The PAS accreditation provides existing Miracle customers with credible external validation that Eque2 and Miracle are best placed to continue supporting their business.” Lynn Gaunt ACIPP, regional operations manager, at IRIS Software Group, commented: “As the regional operation manager for both the FMP Cascade team and the FMP Stockton team, I feel proud to lead both teams to successfully gain the CIPP accreditations. When I received the emails to say we had passed the assessment, I was absolutely delighted. The teams worked hard to ensure we were ready to be assessed. A massive thank you to Sandra Lingwood, who undertook both assessments and gave us some important recommendations we’ll be starting to work on straight away. To be PAS accredited will put our business in a better place and show our clients (new and old) that we have the tools, payroll knowledge and skill set to be able to deliver and process any payroll given to us.” From AAB, UK payroll director, Karen Thomson MSc ChFCIPPdip FHEA, said: “AAB are delighted to achieve reaccreditation once again. Our payroll teams work extremely hard, and it’s great to know our people development and procedures are robust. This is testament to the commitment and dedication of our payroll service.”
