The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints - Salt Lake City, UT
posted 4 months ago
This position engages in the objective of the GSD to invite souls unto Christ by providing financial expertise and risk management for international and domestic local leaders in a simple and efficient way. This entry-level position exists to provide manager, coworker, and area support in analyzing, resolving, and documenting assigned area processes, in addition to maintaining a good working relationship with local unit stakeholders. Under current hybrid working arrangements, the person in this position will be required to work in our Salt Lake City office once a week (as designated by division) or more depending on business needs. The role requires a solid understanding of the local unit finance policies and procedures, enabling the individual to train and mentor GSLU Clerks on how to counsel with and train local unit leaders on accounting, finance, and budget-related issues, including the use of Church financial and membership data systems. The analyst will complete the positive pay review process to mitigate the risk of financial losses due to check disbursements as assigned. This process is time-sensitive and requires significant attention to detail. Regular communication with international area office analysts is essential to resolve outstanding financial transactions related to accounting and banking records not resolved by the GSLU Clerks. The analyst will validate process documentation of GSLU Clerks to facilitate the performance of duties in the future. Understanding the basic functions of the Church's general ledger and performing research to resolve system-to-system accounting issues is also a key responsibility. The role includes entering and approving more complex financial records in the church unit banking system sub-ledger (CUBS) and researching more complex card cash on hand discrepancies, which may lead to the identification and escalation of misused funds. Additionally, the analyst will complete the high dollar disbursement review process and monitor the proper use of local unit funds as assigned, as well as monitor and approve local unit electronic funds transfers to banks above specific system thresholds based on limits set by Area Controllers.
