There isn't a dedicated CIS (Construction Industry Scheme) scenario in Hey Monika right now — CIS-specific content is on the way. The best current preparation is WP: Accounts Payable, which covers the purchase ledger mechanics that CIS accounting is built on: verifying supplier details, posting invoices from subcontractors and managing creditor balances. These skills transfer directly to CIS work, because CIS deductions and subcontractor payment processing follow the same purchase ledger logic.

Frequently asked questions
What is the CIS deduction and how does it relate to the purchase ledger?
Under CIS, contractors withhold a percentage of the subcontractor's payment and pass it to HMRC on their behalf. That deduction is recorded against the purchase ledger entry — which is why purchase ledger accuracy is the foundation of correct CIS accounting.
Is there a payroll element to CIS work?
Yes — subcontractor deductions operate similarly to PAYE deductions, and some construction roles involve payroll for directly employed workers alongside CIS for subcontractors. Payroll content is coming to Hey Monika very soon through The Deskless Phoenix Scenario.
Will Hey Monika add a dedicated CIS scenario? Yes — check heymonika.com/resource-hub/roadmap for the latest.
