Year-End Payroll Close

Purpose

Year-end is when bonus runs, leave balances, and leavers collide. This engagement samples the close window so finance is not surprised by payroll balances that feed filings and management accounts.

Focus areas

Final salary runs of the financial year, discretionary bonus postings, termination settlements in the close period, and reconciliation of payroll control accounts to the general ledger extracts you provide.

Timing

Best commissioned four to six weeks before your internal close deadline. Late briefs are accepted when capacity allows; the sample may be narrower.

Next step
