Hello and G'day,
While finalizing my work for audit, I discovered that my payroll register and activity does not match. I have identified the employee and the amount discrepancies. Despite adjusting the payslip and attempting to reverse the pay run, the amount still does not reconcile.
I also have processed the pay run for this financial year.

Hi MWASA24,
Thank you for the post. It sounds like the issue might be related to how wages are reported as gross payments versus other pay items. Note that the YTD Verification Report shows all wages reported as gross payments. Under the EOFY finalisation tab, click the three dots next to the employee's name to view the individual summary payments. This will provide a breakdown of other pay items not reported as gross payments. Add the Gross YTD figures from the individual summary payments to the YTD Verification Report. This should reconcile and ensure everything matches the Payroll Activity Summary and Payroll Register reports.

Hello/G'day
Thank you for the prompt reply and really appreciate your help.
May I know how to "add the Gross YTD figures from the individual summary payments to the YTD Verification Report"?

Hello Doreen,
Thank you for the reply.
I think I require further assistance as I still could not figure out how to add the amount manually.
Do I enter it manually from the EOFY Finalisation Tab or somewhere else?
Appreciate the help.

Hi MWASA24
You don't need to enter the total to any of the window from your MYOB Business. To have more information, which payroll report has the correct figures? Will it be the payroll register or the payroll activity? Also, you can check the YTD verification report if it has the correct figures.
Best regards,
Doreen
Hello Doreen,
The payroll activity has the correct figures.
The YTD Verification has the same amount with the payroll register.
However, the payroll activity and register does not match.
I can provide the report if you want to take a look.

Hi MWASA24 ,
Thank you for providing the details from your reports. The data in the Payroll Register report is based on the pay history found in the employee's card, which also serves as the foundation for the Year-to-Date (YTD) reports. To ensure the accuracy of the Payroll Register report, you'll need to adjust the Pay History for your employees manually. For more detailed information, I recommend visiting this link: https://community.myob.com/discussions/staffing_and_payroll/accountright-report-not-matching-my-stp-report/757316.

Hi Genreve,
Sorry to re-open this thread - I have a similar issue which I can't resolve.
The Payroll Activity (which is correct) and Payroll Register for a client don't match. The client has lodged STP finalisation based on the incorrect Payroll Register.
Is it possible to adjust Pay History for previous financial years to get the correct figures for YTD, Payroll Register Report and STP? The client's employee can't lodge their income tax return until the error is fixed as it is under-reporting income by approximately $14k.
Thanks,
Elowyn
Hello Genreve,
Thank you for your reply.
So, two things that I need some clarification from you guys;
1. Do I need to adjust the YTD Pay History or the payslip?
2. If I do need to adjust the pay history, in the pay history tab, there's an option to choose what month to adjust, should I just choose the "Year-To-Date" or the month that the payroll activity and register doesn't match?
Appreciate the help.
Kind Regards,

Hi MWASA24,
Thanks for your response! To make things a bit simpler, you first need to check which payroll report is accurate, whether it's the payroll register or the payroll activity. Then, you can compare it with the EOFY verification report before making any changes. The payroll activity report gets its data from the pay runs you've processed, while the payroll register gets its data from the employees' card histories. If your payroll register and activity report aren't matching, then you'll need to fix the pay history on the employees' cards. To identify the differences from the employee card file pay history, you can run the activity detail report monthly. Then, make adjustments for the month causing the issue. Once you've made the adjustments, you can check the EOFY verification report to see if everything matches up.
Feel free to get in touch if you need more help.
Cheers,
Princess
