  • Analyze and interrogate various data sources and databases to assess the completeness and quality of data to meet Finance’s requirements. Where necessary chase data issues back to sources to establish the root cause of the problem and further corrective actions or workarounds.
  • Understand the financial products and their associated business processes, events and characteristics so that idiosyncrasies are not mishandled and misclassified by our Finance systems.
