AU Payroll - Email alerts when conversion balances are changed
PAYROLL CONVERSION BALANCES - SEND EMAIL ALERTS / WARNINGS
Xero sends email alerts when a bank account numbers is changed. Can it also send an email alert when an employee's leave conversion balances have been changed? This will alert fraudulent leave balance adjustments by unscrupulous staff / management.

Employee payroll theft!
All hail Xero's payroll audit trail. It just saved my skin.
An employee manager with full control and access has sneakily amended her accrued leave opening balances in her employee card - 2 times. 150 hours increased all up. It is impossible to detect something like that from our end.
We process payroll but don't do ongoing checks on opening balances to see if they have been fiddled with. Normally, no one would touch that part of Xero.
The manager enters and approves all leave requests before we process payroll. So we had no idea she was bumping up her leave balances. She had her own log in so the audit trail clearly shows she made the changes to the opening balances. Which clears my team and I !
Is there a way for Xero to implement an email warning if someone changes the payroll opening leave balances?
Similar to the warning when someone changes bank account numbers. Some sort of red flag would be great so it brings it to attention.
It's so easy for this type of theft to occur.
I would never have imagined such a sneaky way to get cash from a business.
The business owner gave full trust to the employee manager.
