The lack of a properly structured employment tax oversight process can result in significant tax exposure for an employer. Currently, U.S. employers pay billions of dollars in federal and state employment taxes every year. Meanwhile, the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue and labor have adopted more aggressive enforcement initiatives to ensure compliance with their employment and payroll tax requirements. Additionally, with the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, there is a renewed emphasis on internal controls and fiduciary responsibility.
