Wright Vigar Achieves Payroll Assurance Accreditation 

Is Your Payroll Really as Safe as You Think?

You’re doing everything right. Your business is growing, your team is expanding, and payroll has become a regular part of your operations. But there’s always that lingering question: Is our payroll fully compliant? Are we exposed to risk we don’t even see?

Whether you run payroll in-house or outsource it, the stakes are high. One misstep can mean penalties, reputational damage, or even HMRC scrutiny. With UK payroll regulations evolving constantly, staying ahead isn’t just smart, it’s essential.

Why Payroll Worries Are More Common Than You Think

We hear this concern all the time. Business owners and finance leaders tell us they feel like they’re “doing their best”, but still worry they’re missing something. Maybe it’s a process gap. Maybe it’s a training issue. Maybe it’s just the sheer complexity of the rules.

That’s why the Payroll Assurance Scheme (PAS) exists and why we’re proud to say Wright Vigar have successfully passed the accreditation process once again.

What Is the Payroll Assurance Scheme and Why It Matters

The Payroll Assurance Scheme, developed by the Chartered Institute of Payroll Professionals (CIPP) in partnership with HMRC, is the UK’s gold standard for payroll compliance and governance. It’s not just a badge, it’s a rigorous, independent assessment of how well an organisation manages payroll processes and people.

To pass, we had to demonstrate:

  • Robust internal controls that minimise errors and fraud.
  • Up-to-date processes aligned with current UK legislation.
  • Ongoing staff development to ensure payroll expertise stays sharp.
  • Strategic readiness for future changes in tax, employment law, and reporting.

This isn’t a one-off audit. It’s a deep dive into how we operate and how we protect our clients.

So what does this mean for you?

It means you can trust that Wright Vigar’s payroll services meet the highest standards in the UK. Whether you’re outsourcing payroll to us or seeking advice on your internal setup, you’re working with a team that’s been independently verified for:
