A recent payroll audit our firm worked on had some unusual aspects.  We were sent 20 boxes of records of truck tickets which had a bare minimum of information.  Our job was to calculate the hours worked for truck drivers and compare it to the hours reported.  The tickets might or might not show names, truck numbers and log-in or log-out times.

We needed to compile all of the information in a presentable manner which made sense to all parties involved. The course of action included reviewing every single ticket and inputting the available information in a spreadsheet.  Then we needed to determine how to interpret this data.  Several assumptions were made including an assumption that if a driver had a ticket, it would be assumed that he worked 8 hours for that day.  From this point we were able to compare the hours from the spreadsheets to the contributions reports and determine any discrepancies.
