My main tasks during my time in this position consisted of creating the FUSO Trial Balance in the IDS Inventory System and looking after all FUSO accounting entries; Assisting management to help develop the student accountant; Maintenance of SAP Fixed Asset Register from acquisition to disposal; Calculating the FBT accruals for all fleet cars, demo cars, health insurance and Dealer Incentive Programs; Reconciliation of General Ledger Accounts; Reconciliation between the Expense Management General Ledger Account to individual employees and following up on any errors or variances; Maintenance of Fixed Asset procedures for ICS purposes.During this time some of my key achievements included being promoted a graduate position before I had actually finished University; the overhaul of the processes used to identify missing entries in SAP between the Expense System (CONCUR) and the interface, and was therefore able to bring the standard of quality in the system to the highest it had been since the interface had been developed; Creating the Asset Accounting Internal Control documents from scratch to comply with new standards; and Being trusted to help teach our student accountant.One more notable achievement during this time included being made the President of our Mercedes-Benz Social Club. Our Social Club consisted of over 200 staff members who contributed a small amount of money each month into a bank account that we would use to organise staff events. In 2010 and 2011, I organised the Christmas events that all staff members were invited to. While in this position, I installed certain safeguards to make sure the member funds could be tracked at all times. Show less
