Does it support OIC (Italian GAAP)?
Yes. Dictode produces double-entry financial statements suitable for OIC reporting, or IFRS for groups that apply it.
Does payroll handle IRPEF, INPS and TFR?
Payroll computes gross, IRPEF withholding, INPS contributions and TFR severance accrual and net pay, posting salary journals into your books.
