Audit-Proof Your Payroll: IRS, DOL & Internal Audit Strategies

Employers face more audit exposure than ever before - and the IRS is only one of the agencies paying attention. Federal and state Departments of Labor are increasing wage and hour enforcement, while tax agencies continue to scrutinize payroll and employment tax compliance.

When an audit notice arrives, how you respond can make a significant difference. Delays, poor communication, or inadequate preparation can turn a simple issue into a much larger problem.

This webinar provides practical guidance for responding to IRS and other government notices, preparing for external audits, and conducting effective internal payroll audits before regulators uncover problems for you. You will learn how to identify compliance gaps, review wage and hour and tax practices, detect potential payroll fraud, and take corrective action when issues are discovered.

The session will also explore common payroll fraud risks—including phantom employees and reverse deductions - and show how a well-planned internal audit can help strengthen controls, reduce exposure, and improve overall payroll compliance.
