Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every month the numbers flow, paychecks ready, set to go
But before we hit that final send, audit controls must be our friend
Count the heads upon the floor, match the payroll, nothing more
Active workers on the list, not a single soul gets missed

[Chorus]
Eight controls to keep us straight, payroll fraud we'll terminate
Head count, ghosts, and direct pay, rate changes in the light of day
Off-cycle runs and benefit trails, proper records never fail
Eight controls to keep us straight, payroll fraud we terminate

[Verse 2]
Ghost employees haunt the books, phantom workers, take a look
No benefits upon their name, no reviews, it's quite a shame
No timesheets but still they're paid, red flags rising, don't be swayed
HR activity is the key, real employees we must see

[Chorus]
Eight controls to keep us straight, payroll fraud we'll terminate
Head count, ghosts, and direct pay, rate changes in the light of day
Off-cycle runs and benefit trails, proper records never fail
Eight controls to keep us straight, payroll fraud we terminate

[Verse 3]
Cash equivalent in their hand, direct deposit is our plan
Flag the workers paid in cash, fraud risk rising, move too fast
Pay rate jumping ten percent, where's the HR document
Changes need approval clear, proper records we hold dear

[Bridge]
Off-cycle payroll runs appear, special payments, look with care
Every penny must align, documentation by design
Benefits and reviews in place, ghost detection shows its face

[Chorus]
Eight controls to keep us straight, payroll fraud we'll terminate
Head count, ghosts, and direct pay, rate changes in the light of day
Off-cycle runs and benefit trails, proper records never fail
Eight controls to keep us straight, payroll fraud we terminate

[Outro]
Reconcile and verify, every worker, you and I
Eight strong controls guard the gate, payroll integrity is great
