Personal Information I am an Accountant who qualified 20 years ago with the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants. Previously, I was an electronics design engineer, a career I followed after gaining an honours degree in Electronics at Southampton University I was educated at Christ's Hospital, the "Blue Coat School" at Horsham, Sussex. I have worked in the electronics, music and computer industry for 20 years and have broad business, auditing and financial experience.  My particular skills are in computer assisted financial and operational audits; data mining; and the due diligence of acquisitions and their eventual integration.  I place particular emphasis on meeting deadlines in a controlled manner. I am fully computer literate on both mainframe (S/390 MVS and VM) computers and have excellent knowledge of PC hardware, networks, application software, e-mail systems and  programming languages.  Being fully computer literate allows me to become effective quickly and so improve my contribution to our organisation.  I maintain the Redoak computers on our network.  I have recently completed the integration of the finance systems and processes of a number of acquired subsidiaries (turnover £100 million+) into our parent company. My current projects are the integration of four further acquisitions.  I have also spent some time working on the defence of Inland Revenue and HMC&E investigations for which my skills are a good match. ** ERROR ** JAVA enabled browser not in use One thing we must remember is that accounting is all about juggling the numbers; not mixing up credits and debits and not confusing the $ and £.  I have not added the Euro as it's value is so unstable. Can you see that flying pig(gy) bank?
