  • You will research new FASB guidance and draft or review white papers.
  • Perform financial reporting research of U.S GAAP and SEC guidance and benchmark peer company-comparable disclosures.
  • You will assist in the preparation of the external auditor's PBCs items.
  • Work with internal audit on financial reporting, SOX documentation and testing.
