I reviewed submitted Journal Entries (JEs) for accuracy and compliance with policy and either posted submitted JEs to the General Ledger (GL) or worked with the preparer to correct any defects, and regularly collaborated with financial systems experts to ensure that the GL accurately reflected all posted JEs. I improved audit reports to ensure that external auditors would receive prompt, clear, and defect-free reports. I led changes to the GL to properly account for the company's shareholder dividend and share repurchase plans, coordinating between stakeholders in regulatory reporting, tax, and financial planning & analysis to develop a simple and streamlined group of new and modified GL accounts. I also drove improvements to the company's tracking of accounts subject to currency translation adjustments and GL accounts subject to remeasurement and revaluation.
