Payroll isn’t just about paying people it’s a compliance minefield hiding in plain sight. Every error carries the risk of fines, fraud, or reputational damage. This session reveals why payroll is the most significant hidden risk in your books and how organisations are transforming it into a source of strength. We’ll demonstrate how automation, real-time data, and integrated compliance reduce audit headaches, safeguard cash flow, and keep regulators at bay. Fix payroll, and you protect the integrity of your entire finance system.
Felix Godlo, Senior Business Development Specialist
