Azets has been reaccredited under the Chartered Institute of Payroll Professionals' (CIPP) Payroll Assurance Scheme (PAS) Gold Standard, following an extensive independent assessment.
The reaccreditation recognises the strength of Azets' payroll services, which supports around 7,000 clients across the UK and Ireland, and reinforces the firm's commitment to delivering high-quality, compliant and innovative payroll solutions.
The assessment process included a detailed review of more than 100 aspects of payroll operations, alongside an onsite assessment conducted by an independent CIPP assessor.
The PAS accreditation is widely recognised as the benchmark for quality within the payroll profession, highlighting that the payroll provider operates to the highest standards of governance, compliance and service delivery.
During the assessment, Azets was recognised for its strong governance framework, commitment to continuous improvement and ability to manage complex payroll operations while adapting to changing legislation, technology and client requirements.
The assessor also praised the team's focus on innovation, standardisation and automation, alongside its proactive approach to client communication through webinars, specialist updates and educational content.
The feedback described Azets as a "high-performing managed payroll service" that continually seeks new ways to improve processes and deliver positive outcomes for clients.

Payroll is one of the most critical business functions, and clients rightly expect accuracy, compliance and reliability every time.
