COMPLIANCE

Payroll Assurance Scheme (PAS)

The prestigious gold standard accreditation for your payroll processes and people Developed in partnership with HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and launched in 2012, the PAS is the only industry kitemark to ensure your payroll processes and people are compliant and robust. Examining over 60 facets of your payroll operations, the scheme is consistently evolving and not only shows that lifelong learning and development is planned and encouraged, but that you’re dedicated to compliance and best practice in payroll, a huge accolade for staff, as well as ensuring procurement is much easier.

Every issue we want to recognise and celebrate those organisations which have successfully achieved, or retained, their accreditation. This month we would like to congratulate: l BDO LLP (re-accreditation)

l RS Group (re-accreditation) l Dataplan by Iris (re-accreditation) .

l Broadwing Accountancy Services Ltd (re-accreditation) l The Access Group (Access UK Limited) (re-accreditation)

Our chief executive officer, Jason Davenport, said, “Huge congratulations to all the organisations that have achieved or retained their PAS accreditation. This process takes time and effort but is crucial in demonstrating commitment to your teams, customers and to the payroll industry.”
