PAYROLL ACCOUNTING prepares students for career success with first-hand experience in calculating payroll, completing payroll taxes, and preparing payroll records and reports. This 2017 edition addresses the latest laws and developments in the field of payroll accounting and covers timely topics on the Fundamental Payroll Certification (FPC) given by the American Payroll Association. Real business applications and examples demonstrate relevance, and a focus on applications rather than theory gives students hands-on practice that reinforces concepts. An extensive payroll project gives students further practice, either manually or using Cengage Learning's General Ledger Software (CLGL).
