Dealing with a SARS payroll audit

Overview

Businesses running a payroll are frequently subject to a SARS audit which entails much more than the reconciliation of salary and benefit figures. During a payroll audit, SARS evaluates whether internal controls are in place and are operating effectively, whether a full payroll process exists and also whether all figures are in adherence to SARS business requirement specifications (BRS) and prevailing tax legislation. 

The purpose of this webinar is providing guidance on how to survive a SARS payroll audit.
