Tax-free pay for accountants

Article Abstract:

Accounting firms offering profit-related pay (PRP) to lessen payroll costs orto increase the appeal of their compensation packages are required to undergo the auditing process themselves. Apparently, the benefits offered by PRP are enough to overcome whatever objections auditing firms may have to having its books and records examined by another firm. PRP schemes have proven to be effective in cutting an accountancy firm's payroll costs, as well as in improving staff retention, promoting loyalty and enhancing a company's competitiveness. In exchange for these, the PRP legislation requires all companies with PRP schemes to be monitored by an independent accountant tasked to ensure that Inland Revenue requirements are being complied with. The rise inthe number of PRP schemes to 4,149 in 1992 seems to suggest that this auditing requirement is not really an onerous burden.
