body for payroll professionals and this accreditation really is the icing on our compliance cake. We invest a lot of time and effort in making sure that our processes not only serve our clients well but demonstrate industry best practice, ensuring a smooth, efficient experience for our customers. We are proud to carry the PAS accreditation as a demonstration of the high quality payroll processing service we provide.” Michael Hughes, Cintra human resources and payroll bureau manager, is particularly pleased with the accolade: “Our entire bureau team are CIPP qualified, so CIPP affirmation is especially dear to our hearts. We were confident in our procedures but to have them externally ratified, especially by the CIPP, has made the whole team extremely proud. In addition, the accreditation process itself has been an extremely worthwhile and rewarding exercise” In addition, Dumfries and Galloway Council have been reaccredited with the Payroll Assurance Scheme and Payroll Quality Partnership, and Equiniti are reaccredited with the Payroll Quality Partnership. Colin Jackson, CIPP’s head of consultancy, said: “We are delighted that Cintra HR and Payroll have achieved the PAS accreditation, demonstrating that they are not only committed to customer service but to compliance and best practice in payroll standards. It is also pleasing that other organisations continually value the accreditations and achieve reaccreditation year on year, especially in light of recent highly publicised news stories relating to non-compliance due to payroll errors. “The CIPP encourages all UK plc to engage in a payroll health check or accreditation, such as the PAS, to ensure that they are at less risk of payroll fraud and non-compliance penalties from government, both of which can be extremely costly to organisations both financially and reputationally.” For further information about CIPP’s PAS visit: www. payrollcompliance.org.uk .
