Payroll and salary accounting with Lexware, DATEV, and construction payroll accounting

Payroll accountants are responsible for organizing, managing, and monitoring payroll accounting. This continuing education course teaches you basic skills in carrying out accounting processes as well as in computer-assisted payroll accounting with Lexware and DATEV.
