Tiivistelmä
The purpose of this thesis is to clarify and harmonize the process that takes place, when a foreign company is expanding its business to Finland and is in need of a Finnish accounting firm to take over the payroll administration.
The thesis explores the theory of business process management and business process modelling, human interaction management and project communications in order to create a functional payroll administration take-over. Based on these theories, a process description for the take-over process has been drafted. There is also a foreign company start-up –form and the payroll service description to be used alongside of the process description.
The research method is qualitative research; it was decided that it was most efficient to execute the research by interviewing those working for Tilitoimisto K. J. Westerberg & Co., who have already taken part in payroll administration take-over before. Thus, the process is approached through previous experience and defects. Earlier take-overs also offered a lot of material, which was comparable to the rules and regulations of the Tax Administration, the Finnish Legislation and the Finnish Trade Register. Qualitative research also made it possible to use the data, that the interviewees had created themselves. Lastly, my observations in my own work were also valid in this qualitative research.
This thesis contains information that is confidential. The appendix 1, the Process Description, appendix 2, Start-up –Form for a Foreign Company and appendix 3, Service Description for Foreign Customers are only delivered to the commissioner of the thesis and are not published.
