On 15 Oct, senior HR and Finance leaders came together for an exclusive lunchtime roundtable hosted by Chamber member ADP, diving deep into the evolving landscape of payroll compliance across the Asia Pacific region.

Led by John Antos, Vice President Strategy, Global Payroll & Asia Pacific at ADP, the session sparked insightful conversations around:

🔹 The Critical Role of Compliance
With remote work and shifting regulations, compliance is no longer a back-office function, it’s a strategic imperative. Yet, research shows it remains under-resourced in many organizations.

🔹 Challenges & Risks
From inaccurate time inputs to data discrepancies, payroll errors are often rooted in manual processes. The consequences of non-compliance? Fines, operational disruptions, and reputational damage.

🔹 Proactive vs Reactive Approaches
Participants explored how proactive compliance through alerts, permissions, and cross-functional teams that can mitigate risks before they escalate.

🔹 Enhancing Employee Experience
AI-powered tools are transforming pay transparency, helping employees understand their pay components and linking compensation to career growth.

🔹 Data Security & AI Governance
As AI reshapes payroll systems, data ethics and security are paramount. The discussion emphasized the need for resilient systems and governance frameworks.

💡 Attendees left with actionable insights, stronger HR-Finance alignment, and renewed readiness to tackle compliance challenges head-on.
