Payroll Compliance Support
CPA review of payroll-platform reports and tax-account configuration.
Quick Answer
- Review of client- or provider-produced payroll-platform configuration and NJ tax-account reports
- Form 941, NJ-927, and electronic NJ-W-3 report review
- W-2, 1099, and payroll-to-ledger reconciliation
- S-Corp owner compensation and payroll compliance analysis
- Clients or payroll providers select and configure the platform, run payroll, and transmit payments, filings, W-2s, and new-hire reports unless the written scope says otherwise
Payroll compliance support is limited to review of client- or provider-produced payroll-platform configuration records, federal and NJ tax-account reports, quarterly filing reports, year-end forms, and payroll-to-ledger reconciliation. Support is generally limited to the accounting, reconciliation and tax-reporting side; selecting or configuring the platform, operating payroll, authorizing payments or deposits, transmitting filings, issuing W-2s and submitting new-hire reports are not typically performed and are set engagement by engagement in the written scope.
Payroll-platform records should be reviewed against applicable deadlines, filings, payments, and the accounting ledger. Monaco CPA may review and reconcile specified client- or provider-produced reports under an accepted written scope.
Unless separately accepted in writing, the client or payroll provider remains responsible for running payroll, authorizing direct deposits and tax payments, submitting new-hire reports, and transmitting filings; payroll operation is considered case by case under a separate written engagement. My scope is CPA oversight, tax-account review, and bookkeeping integration.

How It Works
The written engagement and intake instructions describe the expected steps from first contact through the accepted work; timing and steps may vary with the agreed scope and client-supplied information.
- 1
Configuration Report Review
I review configuration records, tax-account reports, earning-code reports, and bookkeeping integration produced by the client or payroll provider; unless separately accepted in writing, they select and configure the platform. Payroll setup and operation are considered case by case under a separate written engagement.
- 2
Periodic Reconciliation
I reconcile payroll registers, tax-liability accounts, and the general ledger; unless payroll operation is separately accepted in writing, the client or payroll provider runs payroll. Payment transmission remains with the client or its provider.
- 3
Quarterly & Annual Review
I review quarterly filing reports and year-end forms generated through the payroll platform before the responsible filer transmits them.
- 4
Engagement-Specific Report Review
Only reports covered by the accepted written scope are reviewed. Monaco CPA does not monitor deadlines or send reminders under this reporting-only scope. Payroll setup and operation are considered case by case under a separate written engagement and may be referred to an independent payroll provider.
