Payroll application audit
A full financial audit of how wages, deductions, and ledger postings move through your payroll processing application across selected cycles.
Who it is for
Finance directors, controllers, and HR operations leads who rely on a payroll processing application — whether a dedicated package or a module inside a wider finance suite — and need independent assurance that calculations and postings hold up under scrutiny.
Result you receive
A written findings report covering sample exceptions, control observations, statutory remittance alignment, and practical remediation steps. We also provide a management summary suitable for board or external auditor briefing.
Scope included
- Mapping of pay elements, calendars, and approval paths inside the application
- Sample testing of employees across ordinary, overtime, and allowance scenarios
- Reconciliation of net pay and employer contributions to bank files and ledger batches
- Review of Social Security, withholding tax, and provident fund configurations as reflected in the application
- Walkthrough of change access for rate tables and pay codes
- Closing meeting with finance and HR owners
Scope excluded
- Full statutory tax filing on your behalf
- Software selection or vendor implementation project management
- Continuous monitoring retainers (available separately only after an initial audit)
How we work
- Scoping call — headcount bands, locations, application name, and recent changes.
- Information request — pay calendars, organisation charts for approvers, and sample extracts.
- Fieldwork — walkthroughs in a controlled environment, with read-only access preferred.
- Findings draft — exceptions ranked by financial impact and recurrence risk.
- Final report — after your factual review window.
Duration and location
Most mid-size employers in Thailand complete fieldwork in three to five weeks, depending on how many legal entities and pay cycles sit inside the application. We work from Level 8, 73 Ploenchit Road when documents can be shared securely, or on your premises when screen share alone is not enough.
Preparation
Please nominate one finance and one HR contact, freeze non-urgent pay-code changes during the sample period, and confirm whether external auditors already requested payroll samples for the same year.
Pricing basis
Fees are quoted after scoping. Drivers include employee count, number of pay cycles in scope, multi-entity complexity, and whether historical parallel runs must be compared after a system migration.
Next step
Request a scoping call and tell us which application and pay periods you want examined.
