Payroll isn't just about cutting checks—it's one of the riskiest areas in your organization. In this episode, we sit down with Jennie Wallace, CPA, CISA, CGMA, and founder of Melody Advisory Services, to uncover the hidden risks that could land you in serious trouble. Jennie shares real stories of payroll chaos, from reports with mismatched headcounts to the dangers of under-resourced teams managing highly regulated processes.

Key Topics: ✅ Why payroll is where you go to jail (seriously) ✅ The difference between process problems and control problems ✅ How to right-size controls without creating red tape ✅ The power of audit trails and cross-functional collaboration ✅ Why every payroll pro needs a champion, not just a mentor Connect with Jennie Wallace: 🌐 melodyadvisory.com 📧 [email protected] 💼 LinkedIn: Jennie Wallace #podcast #PayrollRisk #JennieWallace #payrollcompliance #riskmanagement #processimprovement #internalaudit #PayrollProfessionals #HRPayroll #PayrollData #AuditTrails #PayrollControls #ItsAboutPayroll #payrolltips #PayrollExperts #risk #expert https://wrkdefined.com/podcast/its-about-payroll itsaboutpayroll.io https://youtu.be/BJ9gAdVuQIQ
