The Mobility Compliance Offering: our 5-step process to compliance

1. Diagnostic health check

As with any planning process it is critical to have a clear understanding of the starting point, to create a solid foundation for sustainable growth.

Our health check is a diagnostic process designed to analyse the integrity of your current data, and the efficiency of your data flow. We start by examining your data for key indicators of risk. For example a significant discrepancy between the balance sheet and actual expenditure may indicate inaccurately reported tax liabilities.

We then forensically follow the data trail from collection to final reporting to expose breakdowns, and their relative seriousness. The output is comprehensive red, amber and green triage report, highlighting areas of real and potential error and detailing remedial solutions.

2. The right tools for the job

Using the detailed output of the health check to inform our thinking, we refine your existing tools and create new tools to build a tailored, effective Global Mobility programmes. We refine and build tools for:

• Data collection including interface design enhanced user experience to increase quality of starting data
• Continuous and ongoing data tracking and validation
• Payment, disbursement and reconciliation
• Internal and external reporting, both planned, for tax and ad hoc

3. Effective reporting

No matter how good the integrity of your data, it is useless unless it can be dissected for effective reporting when, where and how you need it. Surprisingly it’s an area where many companies fall down.

That’s why we work with you to build a suite to effectively deliver the main reporting requirements such as funding and reconciliation, payroll and tax data. But we don’t stop there. We will also ensure you have the facility to custom interrogate your data to provide feeds in formats acceptable to your accounting systems, MIS and other analytical tools.

4. Effective implementation

We recognise for tools to be effective, they have to be used effectively. So we will work with, and educate and support everyone involved in the chain to ensure smooth transition and implementation. This includes working with:

• Your mobility team to create effective policy management
• Finance to put in place central, continental and local reporting
• All involved to implement effective control structures
• Procurement to design RFP’s designed to find suppliers who exactly meet your needs

5. Monitoring and refining

If there is one constant in business, it is change. To keep your process up to date we will schedule regular review meetings and a managed monitoring and mentoring programme of continuous development. This ensures any changes in your global mobility environment, internal or external, will be accurately reflected in your data flow.
