General
ADM Accounting has experienced significant growth and an increase in demand
for our services. There has been an increase in financial disclosure
requirements, a demand for more timely information, a need to have
comprehensive consolidation management analytics and reporting tools, and a
larger and more complex corporate structure. Project Cornerstone started as
a response to these challenges in producing effective financial and
management reports. Phase 1 of Cornerstone focused on a high-level
assessment of our current state financial and management reporting systems
and processes, a future state visioning and gap analysis, and the
development of an implementation roadmap and supporting business case. In
Phase 2 of Cornerstone, the project will focus on 5 key areas: Strategy &
Alignment, Information Governance, Data Model, Process & Reporting and
Technology. Cornerstone's vision is one of automated internal and external
financial reporting supported by robust data governance with user based
report development and drill down capability to deliver world class
information and insight.
The person in this position will assist the program director in managing
various cross-project dependencies within the overall Cornerstone roadmap,
and may assist with specific workstream activities. In addition, this person
will assist in coordinating Cornerstone project activities to ensure
alignment with other company initiatives and stakeholders. This person may
be called upon to serve as acting director in the absence of the program
director.
