Forvis Mazars Learning Lab: Fair pay. Fair reporting. Fair future

A payroll audit thus becomes more than a technical check — it is an exercise in trust and internal alignment, helping organizations to:

• understand the real structure of salary costs,
• identify correct tax treatments and areas for optimisation,
• support transparent communication regarding employee compensation.

Together with analysing pay gaps between women and men and aligning employment documentation and internal policies, these actions form an integrated foundation for compliance, fairness, and transparency — essential elements for meeting the EU pay transparency directive.

Through this integrated approach, organisations learned:

• to gain a clear picture of the true cost of labour,
• to avoid fiscal, reputational and legal risks,
• to turn compliance into a real competitive and reputational advantage.

What they learned:

• How to identify and correctly treat benefits and allowances from a tax perspective.
• How to calculate and interpret pay gaps, and what corrective measures you can apply.
• How to align internal policies with legal requirements and tax obligations.
• How integrating the three perspectives — compensation, taxation and transparency — transforms pay equity analysis from a legal requirement into a strategic tool for trust and organisational credibility.
