The most common area where fraud takes place in companies is in the payroll division.
There are various reasons for this tendency and we name just a few:
- Companies do not have clear policies with regards to time sheets etc.
- No clear audit trail from employee time sheet to payout
- No effective controls with regard to overtime etc.
- Poorly implemented policies/legislation
- Absence of payroll reports – planning, budgets etc. Inefficient payroll administrators/clerks
At HR City we make it our business to run your payroll professionally, with all the checks and balances in place.
