We would like to thank everyone who completed the survey and helped to shape the future of the professional body and industry.

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 Eque2 Limited (reaccreditation) l Education Personnel Management Limited (reaccreditation) l Frontier Software (reaccreditation) l IRIS FMP (Cascade) (Leeds) (reaccreditation) 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’ve reported in previous issues of Professional how HR Connect and LivePay have recently received PAS accreditation. Speaking about the accreditation, Kelly Huntington, head of commercial, at HR Connect, commented: “We hold the prestigious CIPP PAS accreditation. PAS demonstrates our organisation’s dedication to compliance and best practice. Accreditation also shows our commitment to employee development and lifelong learning within the sector, which is key when attracting the next generation of payroll professionals. Payroll is an integral part of any business and PAS lets us showcase what excellent looks like.” Managing director at LivePay, Marc Johnson MCIPPdip, said: “At LivePay we’re very pleased to have been awarded the PAS recognition from the CIPP. This affirms the core values of our business in serving our customers with in-depth payroll knowledge, along with our target of ensuring a payroll expert talks to our customers within eight seconds. LivePay has operated within the payroll market for over 40 years; and the PAS solidifies our position more so by being accredited to the Chartered Institute for our industry. We combined high quality service and payroll technology to support our customers through recent volatile times.” l Anderson Anderson & Brown LLP (AAB LLP) (reaccreditation) l Seetec Business Technology Centre Ltd (reaccreditation) l Trident Trust Marine Services Limited (reaccreditation).
