Duties initially started out as conducting research on various companies and securities for the Big 4 accounting firms. Eventually I became part of the team that reviewed all the research to ensure quality and worked with Data Research Analysts (DRAs) to improve their approach to research.In January 2006 I was given the task to create a training curriculum that would be rapidly implemented and would effect all new DRAs coming to work for Kingland. The program involved an analysis of the current training materials, the requirements for the new training program, interviews with Quality Analysts on common mistakes, and finally a creation of the program.The program was created in a few short months and involved a new set of classes, a direction for each DRA choosing a specialization, reference materials to assist in day-to-day research, and identification of "specialists" in each area of research who could be asked for advice.
