When a configuration review is enough

Not every question requires a four-to-eight-week audit. A configuration and control review suits situations where the application’s overall design is trusted, but a specific change introduces risk.

Good candidates for the shorter review

• Annual tax-table or social-insurance rate updates
• A new allowance introduced for one division
• Segregation-of-duties questions after a team reorganisation
• A new payroll lead inheriting undocumented screens

When to choose the full audit

• First independent look after go-live
• Board or lender request for broader assurance
• Multi-entity consolidation onto one instance
• Repeated unexplained variances between payroll and accounting

Center Wise will say so if your enquiry fits the shorter format. Pushing every client into a full audit helps no one — especially payroll teams already short on calendar time before year-end.
