The definition of compliance from the Oxford Language Dictionary is: “The action or fact of complying with a wish or command”. Compliance is undertaken by organisations and their employees daily, as part of business as usual, with different areas having a greater level of focus than others. For payroll departments, compliance is essential to avoid fines and penalties that could be imposed for non-compliance in relation to legislation, and to ward off employment tribunals for illegal deductions of pay. The coronavirus job retention scheme (CJRS) and off-payroll working are the most recent areas of focus in which payroll departments have had to update and modify their practices. Unfortunately, CJRS fraud is a continuing headline. With Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) establishing a dedicated team to review CJRS claims compliance, mistakes are now proving costly. Some larger organisations have payroll compliance officers to monitor, review and advise on company practices and processing, to ensure best practice is taking place, and for new legislation, or changes to existing legislation, to be implemented correctly. An increasing number of organisations use the CIPP’s payroll assurance scheme (PAS) to gain accreditation and evidence that the organisation is dedicated to compliance and best practice, highlighting areas for development and improvement as part of the journey. Whatever size or type of organisation you are, a regular review of company and legislative procedures and practices to demonstrate you’re taking reasonable care to get it right will help, should HMRC come knocking at the door.

CEO’s
message Well, as we enter summer, and a degree of normality returns to our lives, some good weather would be great – let’s hope so! Here’s an update on a key event within the CIPP’s calendar, which is taking place this month after an absence of three years.
This is our ‘tutor development conference’, attended by the chair, senior CIPP directors and our CIPP tutors. Our tutors continue to provide world-class service to those members undertaking our Payroll or Pension Foundation Degrees and are fundamental to our qualifications process. With circa 85 tutors invited, a comprehensive agenda is planned. This includes a welcome and induction to new tutors, before we move into workshops on topics such as: ● leadership skills ● safeguarding and student support

● coaching and mentoring ● roundtable discussions.
It’s key that, as the Chartered body for payroll and pension professionals, we ensure our tutors continue to receive this training to ensure our members receive the very best of support as they embark upon their respective Foundation Degrees. It’s also important for their own continuing professional development. It’s noteworthy that most of our tutors have a busy day job, yet they make time to support the students making their way through their various levels of qualification. As such, they deserve a tremendous thank you for contributing to our students’ success, as well as giving back to the payroll and pensions industry. A reminder once again of our Annual Conference and Excellence Awards Ceremony at Celtic Manor in Newport on 5 and 6 of October. I look forward to seeing many of you again, in person, at this wonderful location. And, of course, our conference will continue to provide detailed and informative updates on current topics across all workshops. Enjoy your summer!
