While payroll professionals don't need to be accountants, they need to understand how the data flows into the General Ledger (GL). This can be effective to understand the flow of data and how errors after payroll with posting transactions can occur. We will break down payroll accounting into practical terms to explore how wages, taxes, and deductions become GL entries. You will learn how to connect the company financial records into the journal entries that are created once payroll is processed. This will also help build your relationship with your finance team and department to help investigate differences when the GL doesn't balance. 

What You'll Learn:

  • Understand how Payroll Hits the General Ledger — Learn how taxes, deductions and earnings translate into liabilities, debits, and credits.
  • Read and Review Journal Entries — Build confidence on how to review journal entries and how the information is used to make the General Ledger. 
  • Reconcile and Troubleshoot Differences — Learn ways to reconcile the General Ledger and work efficiently with the finance department when it doesn't balance.
