Autumn is well and truly upon us, having gone from beautifully sunny days to rainy episodes and leaves falling from the trees. Of course, we’re also into spooky season, as Halloween falls on 31 October. This issue, we’re reminding you not to be
spooked by technology, and hopefully the selection of articles on precisely this topic will allay any fears you may have. Hear from our panel of experts in this month’s feature article (page 24), as we put a selection of questions to them on how technology may influence the payroll industry in both the near and far future. Then flick to the ‘technology’ area of the magazine to hear from an array of professionals regarding current technology trends and how far the payroll industry has come over the years thanks to innovation in this space (pages 50, 52 and 54). Continuing from discussion of cyber-security in the September issue of Professional , read all about important considerations for vendor risk management on page 45, as this is a topic we envisage will only continue to grow in importance. We also can’t forget that October is the month in which the CIPP holds its flagship event, the Annual Conference and Exhibition and the fantastic Annual Excellence Awards. There’s a great line up this year and we can’t wait to see you and to celebrate your successes from the last year. I hope you enjoy October’s issue of Professional magazine!
