Workforce Tax Services

When HR service scales up

We are living through a time of transformation. Businesses are changing at great speeds, while continuing to grow rapidly. Internal functions such as human resources (HR), traditionally thought of as staid and stable in their supporting roles, are evolving alongside external business units. 

As you’ll have come to realise over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, HR professionals have a critical role to play in leading organisations through the challenges of today and tomorrow. 

The renewed focus on people matters, such as employee wellbeing, communication and engagement, and enabling a range of working arrangements, means that you’ll be needing new solutions for your HR operations, policies and processes. And with businesses under pressure to achieve operational efficiency and increase productivity, digitalisation and automation is key.

Have you done a payroll health check recently?

Sustainable cash flow management continues to be a key strategy for Malaysian companies through the global pandemic and beyond. With staff payroll as one of your organisation’s largest operating expenses, your team may be under pressure to provide accurate projections on expenditure to your leadership team. And with increased audits from regulatory bodies, non-compliance may result in high penalties. It is essential to be audit ready and to re-examine your current processes and internal controls, so that you can put in place any remedial action, where required.

You may also have participated in initiatives from various government stimulus packages during the pandemic. The complexity of these packages, combined with the speed with which applications have to be submitted, may present a greater challenge in meeting compliance and audit requirements.

Regular payroll health checks can alert you to gaps in these areas.

Getting audit-ready

We can help assess your current processes and internal controls, and identify areas for enhancements so you can take remedial action where required. Our recommendations can include, amongst others:

  • compliance with local legislations;

  • technical accuracy of calculations (sample basis);

  • process and policy enhancements for cost and operational efficiencies, and 

  • identification of opportunities for automation/tools.
