I have over five years of experience in general ledger accounting, primarily in the manufacturing sector. I am proficient in preparing journal entries, reconciling accounts, and analyzing financial statements. My experience includes working with complex financial systems and ensuring accuracy and compliance with accounting standards.

I ensure accuracy by meticulously reviewing all journal entries and reconciliations. I also utilize automated accounting software to minimize human error and conduct regular audits to identify and rectify any discrepancies. Additionally, I stay updated with accounting regulations to ensure all reports comply with current standards.

I implement a multi-layered review process where entries are checked by multiple team members. I also leverage technology, such as error-checking software, to identify potential mistakes. Regular training sessions for the team on best practices and changes in accounting rules help in reducing errors systematically.

When discrepancies arise, I first isolate the source of the error and then systematically review related entries and transactions. I communicate with relevant departments to gather additional information if needed. Once identified, I correct the error and implement preventive measures to avoid future occurrences.

In a previous role, I encountered a significant discrepancy in inventory valuation. I conducted a thorough review of inventory records, reconciled them with physical counts, and identified a data entry error in the system. I corrected the error, updated the financial statements, and implemented additional checks to prevent similar issues.
