Prepare support for quarterly and annual financial-statement disclosures, including marketable-securities footnote information and quantitative and qualitative market-risk analysis.
Reconcile investment activity and balances across the Treasury Management System, custodian reports, bank information, and the general ledger or consolidation reporting system.
Validate investment populations, security classifications, prices, maturity dates, cash flows, purchases, sales, paydowns, and unsettled transactions; investigate and resolve variances with the appropriate Treasury partners.
Prepare, review, and support manual journal entries and accounting corrections for marketable securities and related Treasury activity in accordance with GM accounting policies and internal controls.
Perform account reconciliations and maintain complete, review-ready support in the Company’s reconciliation and control-documentation tools.
Support Sarbanes-Oxley control documentation, evidence collection, walkthroughs, testing, and remediation activities related to Treasury Accounting.
Coordinate with Treasury Operations, Capital Markets, Front Office, Middle Office, shared services, Financial Reporting, Tax, Financial Assurance, and external auditors to resolve issues and meet close and reporting deadlines.
Communicate clear explanations for period-over-period changes, valuation movements, classification differences, realized gains and losses, and other financial-statement fluctuations.
Identify opportunities to simplify, standardize, and automate reconciliations, reporting, exception management, and supporting documentation.
Develop and maintain procedures, workpapers, analytical tools, and process documentation that improve transparency, scalability, and continuity within Treasury Accounting.
Apply sound judgment when evaluating unusual transactions, data-quality issues, system-interface exceptions, and potential accounting or disclosure impacts; escalate matters promptly when appropriate.
