"Being able to self-review my work and catch mistakes is something I take very seriously. An accountant spends a lot of time in the details, so it is sometimes difficult to catch errors. Given this, I would implement checklists that require me to tie out balances, subtotal transactions and complete other checks before I move forward in the close process. In a way, I would audit my work to catch any mistakes or errors. This not only saves me time in the long run, but also saves my manager time as there is less back and forth resolving issues. I understand that the work I produce is not only a reflection of me, but of my department as well. Given that, catching mistakes would be a priority for me."
