• Participate in month-end close activities, including analytical reviews of subsidiary financial statements to proactively surface risks, variances, and emerging control vulnerabilities.
• Compile and review quarterly disclosure questionnaire submissions from each region, ensuring accuracy and completeness before submission to Veralto in advance of external reporting deadlines.
• Coordinate SOX audit fieldwork with Veralto's external auditors, serving as Videojet's primary point of contact and ensuring well-prepared, seamless engagements.
