What do you mean by standing data with regards to payroll cycle..what does it mean by Standing data could be
compromised as a risk in payroll cycle ?
Standing data = reference data = dats that does not change frequently such as:
Rate of pay
Employee namse and address
Tax codes
Employee bank account details.
Whereas managers might authorise hours worked every time a time sheet is submitted, they are unlikely to check rate of pay every week. So, if that is changes many weeks of wages could be paid incorrectly.
