Compliance at Exceed Contracting is guaranteed and insured by TWO independent auditors.
You can rest assured that contractor payments are in safe hands with Exceed.
Since January 2024, each quarterly PayePass Verify audit scrutinises – and verifies as compliant – the full financial journey of funds through Exceed Contracting; from timesheet and invoice, through all processes and calculations, to payments to contractors and HMRC.
Exceed has been accredited by Professional Passport since 2019. Their annual audits verify our compliance with all relevant legislation, HMRC tax rules, best practice and 360 feedback, and guarantees the accuracy and transparency of information we provide to contractors.
PayePass and Professional Passport are independent auditors of payroll intermediaries. They are not affiliated with any umbrella companies.
PayePass and Professional Passport both provide insurance-backed guarantees to protect everyone in the supply chain from payroll misconduct.
Each PayePass Verify audit checks every single transaction, so you can be confident that payroll malpractice NEVER takes place at Exceed Contracting.
