Payroll Fraud Prevention and Detection Techniques

Payroll Management Platform/Applications • Confirm that your computers have regularly

updated anti-virus and anti-malware software installed behind a reputable firewall.

• Physically secure the computer used for pro-cessing and approving payroll activities and dispose of confidential hard copy and electronic media appropriately.

• Always change passwords to payroll-related systems whenever there is a change in payroll administration personnel.

Management • Split your payroll management tasks so that

one individual is responsible for preparing the payroll and another is responsible for submitting it and verifying the output.

• Consider performing payroll and banking tasks on a separate, dedicated system used only for those purposes.

• If for any reason you suspect a security breach, do not use the system and immediately seek help from your IT security or technology group.

• Provide ADP with up-to-date contact information for your payroll administrator to ensure that we can make immediate contact if we detect suspicious activity.

Preventing Payroll FraudThe following are some best practices to adopt and perform on a regular basis to identify potential problems before they occur.

• Reconcile the number of pays per cycle to the number of active employees you have. If the number of pays is greater than the number of employees, then investigate!

• Regularly inspect the Personnel Change Report for every Payroll and Payroll Preview activity. Look for the following:

• New Hires

• Bank Account Changes

• Pay Rate Changes

• Address Changes, especially to an area where you do not have many other employees.

• Regularly run a report identifying employees who split direct deposit pays into multiple ac-counts and investigate changes to this list to ensure they are valid.

• Generate a regular access control report for all client administrator and practitioner roles. Re-view it for accuracy and appropriateness, and make sure their contact information is valid and up-to-date.

Detecting Payroll FraudSome indicators that payroll fraud is underway might include:

• Receiving a “preview” email for a payroll that you did not submit.

• Indication that a payroll has unexpectedly been transmitted or delivered to you.

• Employees reporting unexpected or excessive funds in their bank accounts resulting from payroll transactions such as “extra deposit.”

• Changes on your payroll that you did not perform.
