1. Explain what the scope of the work/project is? Project Overview, deliverables (what is this person responsible for). This resource will be working within the Business area accounting team and will be responsible for booking journal entries in support of some of the business operations business areas. Heavy in month end close activities as there is a high volume of journal entries that this team books. Again, this role is supporting the business areas in booking accrual, reclass type journal entries during the close process, doing some research with our AP system and doing some other work throughout the month that include standard accounting functions such as preparing account reconciliations and doing some of our look back testing from a SOX perspective from one of our controls.  This role is cyclical; each month doing the same type of work.

 

1. What does a typical day look like? As mentioned above, this role is very cyclical. Month end is considered 3 days before end of the month and 4 days into new month. After that, they will do account reconciliations, lookback testing, booking journal entries, etc.  A cycle might look like this - Team is very busy from 3 days before the end of the month until about three to four days after the end of the month: That's their very high volume of busy month and close time. After that, the amount of work on slows down a little bit, however they have account reconciliations that they'll work on. After that they do some of our look back control testing which will three days and then they will move into booking reclass journal entries and then kind of getting into that month they close process again towards the end of the month.
