Accomplishments

While supervising Accounts Payable for Sewerage and Water Board in New Orleans, we experienced a number of problems with purchase orders due to submitted receiving reports being submitted by employees responsible for them. So, I talked with the Financial Administrator about conducting a workshop to show them how to access their purchase orders on the computer, and how to fill out their receiving reports.

The workshop was successful and there were a lot fewer problems involving purchase orders.
