Course Overview
Savings and Credit Cooperative Organizations (SACCOs) must maintain accurate payroll systems and comply with taxation regulations to safeguard member funds and meet regulatory obligations. Errors in payroll processing, statutory deductions, or tax reporting can result in penalties, audit findings, and reputational risks.
This 5-day course equips SACCO finance officers with practical skills to manage payroll and taxation efficiently. Training covers payroll processing, statutory deductions, PAYE administration, withholding tax obligations, pension contributions, compliance with cooperative and tax regulations, and financial reporting practices tailored for SACCO operations. Participants will also explore internal controls, reconciliation procedures, and audit readiness strategies.
Through real-world case studies and hands-on exercises, participants will gain the expertise to ensure payroll accuracy, enhance transparency, and strengthen regulatory compliance. By the end of the program, participants will be able to manage SACCO payroll systems confidently, reduce compliance risks, and improve financial governance.
