PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Schnitzer Steel Corporation Atlanta, Georgia

Senior Accountant/Internal Auditor 2002 to 2013

I conducted operational, compliance and financial audits for the Southeastern Division. As a result of these audits changes and improvements were tracked in inventory values and turns as well as financial accuracy which all showed measurable improvement. Performed cycle inventory counts at facilities and improved the accuracy of the operating results by over 25%. I monitored and reviewed all inventories daily and monthly; this increased the quantities shipped, transferred and increased revenues. I initially developed the SOX narratives and tested them on a regularly scheduled basis for compliance. Issues were noted and mitigated so that compliance was achieved.
