• Follow up with local finance teams to obtain supporting information and track outstanding items through resolution.
• Prepare proposed correcting entries for review and post approved adjustments.
• Identify recurring mismatch patterns and communicate root causes and practical remediation actions to the Intercompany Manager.

• Keep reconciliation trackers up to date, clearly documenting unresolved differences, follow-up actions, owners, and dependencies.
• Provide clear explanations and supporting evidence for external audits, internal reviews, and other finance queries.
