12:00 pm: Time for phone calls: first call to treasury manager with whom I discuss the company’s conformity with debt contract. The second call is to a staff auditor who needs assistance with a “complicated” financial statement presentation. I ask him to meet me in the cafeteria. We’ll have lunch and go over his document.
1:30 pm: Back to my office. Check my e-mails again and spend the afternoon assessing the overall business risk to our sister company. The thing I enjoy most about this job is getting the chance to examine all different business units in order to audit each facility and evaluate the overall business risks.
4:00 pm: That was one long assessment. Time for my recommendations now. I draft down my corrective measures, complete my comments and take a break!
