What does outsourced payroll include?

Accurate payroll is more than calculating salaries. Employers must deduct income tax under section 149, deposit it on time, report it in withholding statements and meet EOBI and provincial social security obligations.

  • Monthly salary calculation and payslips
  • Income tax withholding and deposits
  • EOBI and social security contributions
  • Final settlements and gratuity calculations
  • Annual salary certificates for employees

Why have Zakat and charity funds audited?

Trusts, mosques, welfare organisations and companies that distribute Zakat benefit from an independent audit that confirms funds were collected and spent as intended. A clean audit report builds donor confidence and supports registration with authorities.

Which certificates can a chartered accountant issue?

Banks, embassies and regulators often require figures certified by a chartered accountant. We review supporting documents and issue certificates in the format the receiving party requires.

  • Net worth statements for visa and immigration
  • Bank-agreed certificates for loan covenants
  • Turnover and export certificates
  • Capital and fund utilisation certificates

How quickly can you issue a net worth certificate?
