Payroll fraud, particularly through “ghost employees” — fictitious individuals on the payroll who receive salaries — can drain an organization’s finances and undermine trust within teams. Our Ghost Employee Audit service identifies fraudulent payroll entries, uncovering non-existent employees who may have been added to siphon funds.

Using advanced data analysis, verification checks, and cross-referencing with HR records, we thoroughly audit employee databases and payroll records. This rigorous process helps you recover lost funds, maintain financial accuracy, and ensure that only genuine employees receive salaries. Our audits reduce payroll costs, minimize the risk of insider fraud, and restore integrity in your financial operations.

Key Features:

• Employee Database Reconciliation: Cross-referencing payroll records with HR data to verify each listed employee’s identity and employment status.
• Attendance & Activity Monitoring: Confirming attendance records and assessing role-related activity to distinguish between active and fictitious employees.
• Payroll Data Analytics: Using data-driven tools to spot irregularities in payroll records, such as unusual salary payments or duplications.
• Verification of Employment Status: Conducting physical and digital checks to ensure each payroll entry represents an active, contributing team member.
• Comprehensive Reporting: Providing a detailed report on audit findings, recommended corrective actions, and financial recovery strategies.
