ADDITIONAL School experience that provided knowledge in governmental accounting operations and
requirements. Have experience with automated systems design practices and limitations, accounting
INFORMATION and auditing. Deal tactfully with other employees to implement revised policies and procedures. Have
extensive written and oral communication skills.
I have extensive knowledge of accounting procedures, accounting reconciliations, and internal
controls used when auditing and reviewing data. This knowledge was acquired by school studies and
work experience. I use accounting procedures and accounting reconciliations when preparing tax
returns for individuals and when entering transactions for businesses on a daily basis. Internal
controls were implemented at First American Bank when auditing financial data and bank procedures.
Internal control procedures are used at William H Puckett CPA PC to help prevent and detect fraud
and protect resources. Internal controls are also used to ensure that financial reports are reliable and
compliance with laws and regulations. Internal control procedures implemented ensure that only valid
or authorized transactions are processed; transactions occurred during the correct period and were
processed timely; there are no omissions to transactions; transactions are calculated using the
appropriate methodology and are computationally accurate; assets represent the rights of companies
and liabilities its obligations, as of a given date; components of financial statements are properly
classified and described; and transactions or results appear reasonable relative to other data or
trends.

performance data, and ensure that the information contained in the financial management system is
properly tracked and measured in a way that is meaningful for budget processes and analysis.
