Audit External Payroll

The desire of employers to be more and more attractive to their employees by granting them various benefits (employee shares and options, company car, entertainment expenses, etc.) increases the complexity of payroll and its accounting, which can lead to unpleasant surprises for employers in the event of AVS, VAT, source tax or direct tax audits.

That’s why, if you’re an HR manager or in charge of overseeing the payroll of your various employees, or even if you work with an external company that handles your company’s payroll, our new “External payroll audit” service could be of interest to you!

This new service is the result of collaboration between our tax department and our outsourcing department (accounting, payroll). We put at your disposal the cutting-edge expertise of these two departments to provide you with a 360-degree review of the way your company manages its payroll.

Our external payroll audit service includes the following services:

• Review of social insurance accounting entries (AVS, LPP, LAA, LAAC, APG);
• Review of final social insurance invoices and annual declarations;
• Reconciliation of salaries with accounting records;
• Annual payroll reconciliation;
• Review of pay slips and salary certificates (including appendices);
• Review of employee plans and their implementation by the company;
• Review of the company’s source tax treatment;
• Review of the expense settlements implemented by the company;
• Analysis of the risks of permanent establishment in Switzerland or abroad;
• Review of the situation of cross-border workers and Swiss posted workers;
• Review of the implementation of collective labor agreements and their proper application;
• Review of employee work permits;
• Review of the calculation of the private vehicle share and its accounting and VAT treatment;
• Review of family allowances.

The aim of our various reviews is to avoid unpleasant surprises for the company in the event of an audit: AVS, VAT and withholding tax.
Additionally, we will suggest ways of optimizing the payroll process if we identify any during our review. It is possible to select only certain services for cost reasons, but we recommend a 360-degree review.
