• Assess data-quality issues that may result in overstated or understated financial metrics and help determine the underlying source of discrepancies.
• Document data anomalies, reconciliation results, root causes, and corrective actions to improve the reliability and traceability of financial information.
• Support leadership reporting and analysis related to materiality, financial reporting risk, audit readiness, and consolidated DoD financial reporting.
