Payroll Audit Services

A payroll audit finds compliance gaps before EPFO, ESIC or the Income Tax department does. We review your last 12-24 months of payroll and compliance filings and hand you a clear, prioritised action report.

What is Payroll Audit Services?

A payroll audit is an independent review of your salary calculations, statutory deductions (PF, ESI, TDS, PT), filing history and HR documentation to identify errors, missed filings, or non-compliance risks, along with recommendations to fix them.

How We Deliver This Service

A clear, step-by-step process from onboarding to ongoing delivery.

1

Scoping

We agree the audit period and Acts to be reviewed (PF, ESI, TDS, Bonus, Gratuity, etc.).

2

Data Collection

Payroll registers, filing acknowledgements and employee records for the period are gathered.

3

Detailed Review

Every calculation and filing is cross-checked against statutory requirements and due dates.

4

Gap Report

A findings report is prepared listing discrepancies, missed filings and financial exposure, ranked by risk.

5

Corrective Action Plan

A step-by-step plan to fix gaps and prevent recurrence is handed over, with support to implement it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far back can a payroll audit go?
We typically recommend auditing the last 12-24 months, though scope can be extended further if needed, such as for due diligence purposes.
Will the audit report be useful for investors or acquirers?
Yes, our audit reports are structured to be shared during due diligence to demonstrate compliance health or highlight remediation already underway.
What if the audit finds a past compliance default?
We help you assess the exposure and, where possible, guide voluntary correction to limit penalty risk before it's flagged in an inspection.
Do you only audit or also fix the issues found?
Both - we hand over a corrective action plan and can also implement the fixes and take over ongoing compliance if you choose.
Is the audit confidential?
Yes, all payroll and employee data reviewed during the audit is handled under strict confidentiality.
