When preparing payroll journals manually, it's worth taking time to verify that: - Employment Allowance has been applied correctly for the period. - New starters and leavers are included correctly. - Weekly and monthly payroll groups are correctly reflected in the journal. - Payroll totals agree with your Moneysoft reports. - Account mappings remain correct. MS Payroll Bridge performs these checks during conversion, helping you prepare an accurate journal before importing it into your accounting software.
