NodeService Path Advisory

Payroll suite audits, written as field work

NodeService Path Advisory sits with finance controllers and payroll owners and walks the application path — hire record to net pay to EPF, SOCSO, EIS and PCB files — then tests whether the suite still calculates what the policy says it should.

Working papers stay on paper and in named files. We do not need a dashboard seat in your suite.

The primary engagement: a financial reading of the payroll processing suite

This is not a software implementation and it is not a statutory company audit. It is a financial audit of the application that pays your people. We rebuild a sample of pays, match statutory output files to the register, and write exceptions back to the screen or batch job that produced them.

  1. Sample employees across salary bands, joiners, leavers, and the ugliest allowance combinations you actually use.
  2. Rebuild expected net pay and contributions outside the suite, using the Employment Act rules and statutory tables in force for the period.
  3. Compare the rebuild to posted results, then to the KWSP, PERKESO, EIS and LHDN files that left the building.
  4. Walk who can change a salary, a bank account, or a reversal, and whether maker-checker is real.
  5. Hand back a findings letter and a working-paper pack your internal audit committee can read without opening the application.

Most clients start with the gross-to-net path, then add the statutory files or the year-end EA draft. Each item below is a scoped service, not a product tile.

Gross-to-net calculation path

We reconstruct how the suite turns a basic salary into net pay, then test rounding, proration, and back-pay against the rules you believe are configured.

Statutory file reconciliation

EPF, SOCSO, EIS and PCB output files are matched back to the payroll register so contribution gaps are found before a notice arrives.

Application controls and access

Who can change a salary, approve a batch, and post a reversal — and whether those rights still match the names on your authorisation matrix.

A controller’s note, kept on file

Excerpt · finance controller · Petaling Jaya · 2025

“They did not send a slide deck. They sent a pack that showed which wage type had dropped out of the EPF base after a patch, named the screen, and listed the people affected. We corrected the flag before the next KWSP file went out.”

Published with permission. The organisation name is withheld because the working papers remain confidential.
