Importance of the Mop-Up Payroll Audit

The nationwide payroll audit is a critical accountability measure aimed at:

• Verifying and cleaning government payroll data.

• Eliminating ghost names and irregularities.

Management strongly advises all affected staff to comply with this mandatory exercise. Failure to do so may result in payroll challenges, including possible suspension from salary processing.
