This document is part of a Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) Manual for a corporate accounting department.
The team
I worked with a seventeen-person team to capture a variety of different procedures. The members of this team included:
- accounting clerks
- accountants
- financial analysts
- accounting managers
Accountants for this department normally perform many account reconciliation procedures on a monthly basis, with responsibilities being rotated among different team members. I recorded this procedure as a set of instructions for verifying interior building improvement expenses that are paid out of the individual reserve accounts of different timeshare resorts.
The audience
The audience for this procedure includes all staff accountants responsible for performing the reconciliation, along with any newly-hired accountants who are being trained to perform this and other accounting procedures.
