  • Review the quality of reconciliations in the other sections and support them with providing automated solutions (e.g. develop modules to pick up exceptions due to vast volumes etc) so that efficiency of the process is increased. These solutions would have to be continually finetuned considering the constantly changing processes and new business initiatives with a view to cover the risks associated with the changes. This would entail changing processes, methods of /approaches to reconciliation. This can only be possible by obtaining the "buyin" from the other finance sections.

Analyse the movements in balances, obtaining explanations for significant variations with an aim to respond to audit queries. Adjust Group company financials, where necessary, to align them with Group accounting policies and IFRS.
