Accounting Supervisor II

I supervised a small support staff in the Accounts Receivable (Cash

Receipts Section) in the Office of Finance and Administration. I conduct

weekly staff meetings to ensure all staff is kept abreast of any upcoming

events pertaining to the Cash Receipts Section. I trained each staff

member one on one, to ensure they are comfortable with all aspects of

receiving payment (cash, checks, and money orders). I update our

procedures manuals when changes occur. I perform yearly performance

evaluations on each staff member. I monitor the accuracy and delivery of

all daily financial reports and daily received (cash, checks and money

orders) to Banking Operations. I assign special task to staff and monitor

the completion of each task, in Microsoft Outlook on the task log. I post

monthly charges pertaining to clients that are in the care of the state. I

request money to be moved from one bank account to another, in the case of

keying money into the incorrect account. I reconcile monthly the client's

accounts to ensure a payment was received. I request transfers of money

when needed. I prepare monthly reports for Client's Receivables. I inform

management of any discrepancies that I am unable to rectify, before the

close of business. I assist Federal, State, and Legislative auditors when

the Cash Receipts Section is audited. This will ensure management as well

as myself will rectify any audit finding before the end of the financial

year. I coordinate with other (Inter and Outer Agency) staff to maintain

all monies are processed in a timely manner. I answer any questions that a

client may have pertaining to their accounts, or connect them to the

appropriate personnel who can assist them. I have implemented many

procedures that we currently use in the Accounts Receivable (Cash Receipts

Section), while working for the past ten years in State Government. I

assist the State Legislator's Office when we are audited yearly, to show

that we are adhering to the policies and procedures that are outlined by

the State Government. Use AASIS to verify the coding sheet information

(Fund, Cost Center, Internal Order number, and Original AASIS document
