Editor’s comment
It’s October, and that means the celebrations continue, because we’re officially in ACE season. For those of you unfamiliar with ACE (firstly, where have you been?!), it stands for our Annual Conference and Exhibition. It’s one of the biggest and best events in the payroll calendar and we’re so excited it’s finally here. This issue takes a dual focus. We’re exploring everything about ‘ your membership organisation’ , looking at what the

CIPP currently offers and its plans for the future. And, of course, we’re continuing the celebration theme, following the huge success of National Payroll Week last month, and now, with ACE taking centre stage Turn to page 12 to hear directly from our senior leadership team as they share insights into the future direction and strategy of the Institute, including the four core pillars that are shaping our strategic canvas. This issue’s inspirational quote refers to moving forward together, and that’s exactly what the CIPP’s plans involve. Alongside this, hear from our policy and research team, who give a reminder of all the activities they carry out on behalf of you, our members, and the wider payroll profession, on page 16. We’re also delighted to share a piece relating to how valuable this very magazine is to our members, which can be located on page 30. October is synonymous with a particular deadline for payroll professionals too – the pay as you earn settlement agreement (PSA) payment deadline. Our hot topic feature this issue delves into the ins and outs of the PSA process and helps you with everything you need to know. Find it on page 58.
