again achieved PAS accreditation. The CIPP PAS process was well organised and easy to follow; the detailed self-assessment we provided was commended by the assessor and the day itself ran very smoothly. “The accreditation has confirmed the systems and processes we have in place demonstrate our attention to detail and can meet our client needs. It also highlights how hard we work to provide such a high level of service to clients, and that we fully engage our team in the process. Achieving the PAS accreditation has raised the profile of the payroll team both internally and externally, confirming to the team they’re providing a trusted and compliant service and showing we’re committed to continuous development and process improvement.”
