ECH7100 - Commencing the Compliance Check: Records that Need to be Reviewed
The records which need to be reviewed will vary from employer
to employer and contractor to contractor
(This text has been withheld because of exemptions in the
Freedom of Information Act 2000).
Once the Talk Through is complete you should initially ask
for production of
- all the records to complete the Payroll Walk Through Tests , for example
- the deduction working sheets (or equivalent)
- the books of account in which evidence to support payments to employees/subcontractors and HM Revenue & Customs are recorded
- evidence of employees entitlement to statutory payments
- an appropriate number of records required to complete the 'walk through' and testing of the systems, for example if travel expenses are paid to employees these may include
- expenses claim forms
- invoices for costs incurred (train tickets, petrol receipts, mileage records etc)
- cash and petty cash books
- cheque stubs.
You should be able to identify the records needed from the Talk
Through.
Any additional or earlier period records required will depend
on whether the compliance check is to be extended (
ECH8030).
