Retrospective Correction of Contributions and Payroll After an Incorrectly Assessed A1 Form
Retrospective Correction of Contributions and Payroll After an Incorrectly Assessed A1 Form
Custom payroll processing software can be a major advantage for a company – especially when it is connected to accounting and other internal processes. However, when changing an external payroll partner, concerns may naturally arise as to whether the new team will be able to quickly understand the system, build on the existing setup, and ensure smooth payroll processing without errors or delays.
A client approached us with a similar challenge: they needed external payroll processing to be carried out directly in the software used within their company.
We needed a partner who could quickly take over a complex payroll agenda, understand our system, and reliably resolve the issues that had arisen.
Client requirementHow we approached the project
The goal was to ensure smooth payroll processing directly within the client’s internal system, build on existing processes, and at the same time resolve discrepancies identified during the review of previous periods.
Rapid adaptation to the client’s internal software
Since payroll was to be processed directly in the client’s system, which was new to BDO, the team quickly familiarised itself with its functionalities, settings, and links to accounting and other company processes.
Taking over the payroll agenda and ensuring continuity of payroll processing
We fully took over the client’s payroll agenda so that payroll processing could continue smoothly, without delays and without any negative impact on the company’s internal processes.
Identifying discrepancies from previous periods
During the processing of annual tax reconciliations, BDO identified several errors and discrepancies from previous periods that could have affected both employees and the employer.
Assessing the impact and ensuring corrections
The identified discrepancies were reviewed in detail through control recalculations. After consulting with the client, we ensured the necessary corrections, including corrective filings and system adjustments.
Recommendations for future process improvements
We recommended control mechanisms and process improvements that helped increase the accuracy, efficiency, and reliability of payroll processing.
What the cooperation delivered for the client
Seamless takeover of a complex payroll agenda without disruptions in payroll processing.
Fast orientation in the client’s internal software and continuity of existing processes.
Identification and correction of errors from previous periods, including recommendations for future improvements.
We particularly appreciated the professionalism, flexibility, ability to quickly adapt to a new system, and proactive approach to problem-solving. The cooperation brought us not only stability, but also a higher quality of the entire payroll processing process.
Client feedbackSwitching to a new payroll partner does not have to mean risk
This case confirms that switching to a new external payroll processing partner does not have to mean risk, disruptions, or interference with internal processes – even when a company uses its own software. What matters is having a reliable partner who can quickly get up to speed and ensure the smooth continuation of payroll administration without errors or interruptions.
