Livonia, Mich. (Vocus/PRWEB ) February 18, 2009 -- WorkForce Software, Inc., a leader in workforce management software solutions, announces its February Learning Series webinar, "Sarbanes-Oxley and the Payroll Professional." This webinar offers valuable insight into the role of the payroll professional and the impact of Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX).
Our speaker, Mr. Roger Smith, CPP and payroll consultant for the Payroll Prof, has an extensive background in the payroll industry, recently retired from EDS, and is a frequent speaker and contributor for the American Payroll Association (APA). Mr. Smith discusses what every payroll professional should know about being in compliance with SOX internal controls. He offers advice on how to document and maintain those controls at various levels within the department to maintain compliance.

Payroll professionals must have internal controls in place that show employees are paid accurately and consistently all the time. They must also provide audited proof of those payments to maintain compliance. Mr. Smith discusses how to manage internal controls effectively.
Automating the proper procedures and controls will ensure your organization complies with requirements. Examples of automation include:
