Examples include:
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Laser Fiche Imaging
Installed and configured imaging software to automate the indexing of scanned
documents and provided training to Copy Center personnel. This allowed the Auditor's
Office to eliminate outsourcing of scanning, resulting in a net savings to the County of
$80,000.
Ad-hoc SQL Queries
Worked on writing SQL queries to calculate Fund Balance, which is now used in the new
Calc Fund Balance page of the Auditor's Intranet site.
Process Improvement and Automation
Proposed that Accounts Payable use a paperless balancing system, which saved staff time
and reduced paper and print costs. Implemented the imaging of Appropriation and
Revenue Adjustments (TC-24/27s) and Counter Warrants (TC-53s).
System Development and Testing
For the Electronic Deposit Permit (EDP) system, identified the coding edit requirements
and assisted with converting these edits into Cold Fusion, and conducted unit and parallel
testing for the edits to the new system.
It is important to create a permanent Systems Accountant position in order to continue
automation and efficiencies in the Office of the Auditor-Controller.
