Payroll audit ties contracts, WPS files, MOHRE records and the general ledger so a discrepancy is a finding, not a shrug. In Dubai the SIF file and the bank payment are evidence. The spreadsheet is not.
What we reconcile
Headcount to visas, salaries to WPS, end-of-service and leave to the ledger, and related-party ‘consulting’ that is actually payroll. We have seen all of these since we opened in 2024. The report names people by role, not by gossip.
WPS versus the books
If WPS left the bank and the payroll journal did not, or the other way around, that is the finding. We do not average it away.
Questions we are asked
Do you need every labour contract?
A sample plus exceptions, unless the company is small enough to test all. We say which in the plan.
Will this stay confidential?
The report goes to the person who appointed us. We do not brief the floor.
Can you then run payroll for us?
Yes, under the accounting desk, in a separate letter. We will not audit a payroll we just processed and call it independent.
