In this report we explain the importance of overseeing third-party employment tax outsourcing arrangements.
The benefits of payroll outsourcing are clear — businesses can realize lower technology costs and reduce staff time devoted to repetitive and time-consuming tasks such as those associated with tax payments and return filing. In fact, with so much of the payroll infrastructure transferred to a third party it is often the tendency, due to overzealous marketing or complacency, to redirect or remove trained and experienced in-house staff who are vital to the oversight role.
In this special report, we explain why it is important to oversee third-party arrangements and review some of the tasks integral to the overall governance process.
