•Validate the financial result at each month end and work closely with accounting team to ensure data accuracy and timely;
2 steps towards closing, first is the pre closing, which is 1-2 days before actual booking close, checking the booking result and make sure all the JV submitted like accrual JV are well booked and without mistake.

In S company, there is data management team to maintain the standard cost and occasionally there could be mistake like maintain 100 pcs price by using 1 pc price so the cost is only 1% of what it should be. Or could be the SAP system issue. Usually it could be found by analysis the gap between actual and forecast or the past period data.
