QUESTION 1

1. BACKGROUND LearnCo. Limited (LearnCo.) is a top training provider that offers skills

development training solutions to businesses and government institutions in South Africa. The

company is based in Gauteng, South Africa and has a 30 June 2024 year-end. LearnCo. offers a

wide variety of courses in health and safety, leadership and managerial skills, occupational health

and even on emerging technologies like machine learning, robotics, coding and artificial

intelligence. The company conducts the training at the client’s workplace premises. LearnCo.

employs 250 facilitators permanently. The facilitators come from a diverse range of fields in line

with the courses offered by the company. The facilitators spend majority of their time travelling

to clients throughout the country and consequently, LearnCo. incurs a high amount of

expenditure related to travel claims. You have recently been appointed as the Financial Manager

(FM) of LearnCo. The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) is orientating you about the company and

its payroll system. The payroll system is outlined below.

2. PAYROLL SYSTEM LearnCo. uses a payroll software called Revolve X. Revolve X is highly

advanced and is powered by artificial intelligence (AI). Revolve X automates the majority of

routine payroll-related transactions. These include screening CVs submitted online, shortlisting

candidates, performing monthly reconciliations, filing electronic reports, computing the monthly

payroll expense, and validating and processing input data for the payroll. Any valid employee of

LearnCo. has login access. LearnCo. has a limited Human Resource (HR) unit in place. The HR

unit currently consists of the HR manager and two payroll clerks. The HR manager is currently

, responsible for conducting interviews, completing the recruitment process and retirements. The

CFO explained that other than the screening of CVs and shortlisting of candidates against pre-

determined criteria, Revolve X also assists the HR manager by providing pre-populated

templates for employee contracts. The payroll clerks are responsible for capturing approved rates

for travel claims, medical aid, provident fund and other applicable expenditures. Revolve X also

houses the employee database. As the FM, you will approve and sign off the employee contracts

on behalf of the company, ensure that applicable rates are up to date and that the schedules

produced by the system are correct prior to authorisation for payment.

2.1 Dismissals and resignations Dismissals and resignations occur seldomly at LearnCo. The HR

manager is currently overloaded with his duties, so management decided to move the handling of

dismissals and resignations solely to the CFO. You were busy reviewing the payroll and noted

details of two employees, with employee numbers 452901 and 370213, who were dismissed in

September 2023 and December 2023, respectively, but were still included in the payroll.

Fortunately, no payments have been made to the employees since their dismissals. When you

followed up on this matter with the CFO, he indicated to you that he has a practice of removing

such employees from the payroll at the company’s year-end.

2.2 Employee expense Employees are paid salaries on the last working day of the month.

LearnCo. has no set salary structure for its employees. Employees can secure a higher pay-rate

upon their appointment and during their performance reviews based on performance, experience

and negotiation skills. Revolve X retrieves input data for the payroll payment from the employee

database (which contains a list of employees, their annual approved salary and benefits) and

PAYE, medical aid and provident fund tables. Revolve X is programmed to use AI to ensure that

only the latest tax rates for individuals, rates for UIF and medical tax credits are used. Revolve X
