      "I managed my market's country specifics to be compatible with the general accounting procedure. My previous colleagues did not follow these general procedures which caused many conflicts with vendors. After changing procedures, the daily workload was decreased and we reached a healthy state. Feedback from my executives was positive. I am willing to bring the same standards to your company as well."
