Efficient and effective Payroll
data auditing
Beverley Raine – Salford City Council
Sumeet Raval – Accenture
• Salford City Council run 10 Monthly payrolls
• Total staff numbers are in the region of 11,000 employees
• Prior to purchasing the “Audit & Compliance Tool” we relied
on a combination of SAP standard exceptions, wage type
reports and Ad-Hoc queries
• These different reports were all exported to Excel and saved
on the respective team drives
• This was time consuming and difficult to administer
• A system was needed whereby all of the exceptions were in
one place, and actioned from a single transaction

months• Encourages more regular audit before and after the pay run• Text ‘Notes’ provide an explanation of exceptions for
managers/auditors• Traps many of the exceptions before the pay run• Increases confidence in the payroll data• Enables users to manage exceptions for own specific area of
responsibility
Capture - HCM reporting requirements are captured in easy-to-understand and easy-to-create rules.
Investigate - From the workbench, users drill directly into SAP
Master-, Payroll-, and Organizational-data. Warnings, errors, triggers are highlighted.
Action - All changes to transaction and data are executed from the workbench (through PA30).
Record - Users record the rationale for actions (explain the conclusion of the warnings, errors, and triggers).
Audit - Auditors see the entire history. The 5-Ws for all that was reported, investigated, and executed (or not executed).
Visualize - Management has a dashboard to visualize the
results from the PA/PY workbench. A graphical overview of the
numbers of errors and warnings and the progress that has
been made in the resolution of those issues.
