Accountants take note: it’s time to get your employers ready to embrace digital
Many small businesses still use spreadsheets and manual processes to manage their business. But with more and more employer obligations going electronic it’s time for businesses to go digital.
The case for digital
With the productivity improvements already realised through SuperStream and now Single Touch Payroll, it should come as no surprise that the government continues to assess other employer processes that can be enhanced by going digital.
Most employers will have submitted data electronically to the Government or Super Funds by now and understand how going digital can enhance business operations. Benefits of digital
Employers who have gone digital benefit from time savings through streamlined processes, less manual administration, improved data quality and a more efficient and effective way to manage reporting.
Digital readiness and the importance of data Improving data quality is the first thing to focus on when getting digital ready.
1. Create a Single source of truth - bring all your data together. 2. Consistent labelling of data to match the ATO naming protocols. 3. Complete data sets with no missing fields or information.
What’s coming Through our involvement with the ATO over the past eight years we have had direct insight into what’s coming. And have helped shape and inform how digital solutions can benefit businesses of all shapes and sizes across Australia.
The next phase of digital will build on Single Touch Payroll to simplify reporting to the Department of Human Services, enable employers to send and receive standardised invoices from within their business software and integrate from Digital Identification.
SuperChoice, Chris Denney had this to say,
‘We know the Government roadmap will continue to push for more digital enablement. SuperStream was the Government’s first foray into electronic transaction processing, followed by Single Touch Payroll, with e-Invoicing next. Because we specialise in digital transactions and payments, we have the scale to continue to invest and provide services to our software partners and their employer customers. From sending or receiving electronic transactions or new electronic services to provide further efficiency and value to your business.
Getting digital ready for today and what’s coming is a huge priority for any growing business.’
