Anybody work in payroll reconciliation?

[candlelight22]

I'm on a course and for one of my questions I need to comment on what a "good system for payroll reconciliations would look like. For monthly, quarterly and annual global reconciliations."

I have scoured the internet but can find nothing. Can anyone please explain what I am meant to do/write? What is a global reconciliation for a UK based company?

I need help in quite basic terms as I have no finance background.
Fingers crossed someone will come along

It is just reconciling between the payroll system and reports to physical payments and transactions. So reconciling gross pay + employers NI + employers pensions to get your total expected payment.
Then you tie back what has been paid... Net pay to employees + paye/NI to Hmrc + total pension contributions. They should match... Or be reconciled by the liability still owed.
A good system would have a cross check back to the time sheets or hours worked system.

Thank you so much. Much clearer now. . Appreciate you taking time to reply. X

Screen shot that as starting a payroll course soon!
