00:00:00.410 --> 00:00:02.390
>> My name is Francine Blackman.

00:00:02.390 --> 00:00:04.750
I'm employed by International Paper.

00:00:04.750 --> 00:00:07.640
I work as the Manger of Financial Compliance,

00:00:07.640 --> 00:00:11.290
working with the U.S. Mail
and converting facilities.

00:00:11.290 --> 00:00:16.860
Basically what we do, we kind oversee
the internal control of the area,

00:00:16.860 --> 00:00:21.970
ensuring that the facilities are
abiding by the control framework

00:00:21.970 --> 00:00:26.400
that International Paper has set
up, along with the gap requirement

00:00:26.400 --> 00:00:29.800
and other control, NCC, and so forth.

00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:34.040
Eight to five would be a day that
I would be my normal work hours.

00:00:34.040 --> 00:00:39.540
So on a busy day, I usually get several calls
from controllers asking policy questions.

00:00:39.540 --> 00:00:41.170
I would respond to them.

00:00:41.170 --> 00:00:44.320
I would research the policies, look it up.

00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:47.910
I'll also speak with my manager about
some things that they may be looking

00:00:47.910 --> 00:00:52.870
for exceptions for, and then
relay that back to the controller.

00:00:52.870 --> 00:00:59.540
Also one of to the areas that we do, we review
a facility balance sheets where we would look

00:00:59.540 --> 00:01:08.360
at their financial information, review it for
supporting documentation, make it's valid,

00:01:08.360 --> 00:01:12.750
and that they're in compliance,
and the account is properly stated.

00:01:12.750 --> 00:01:14.240
So I do a lot of that.

00:01:14.240 --> 00:01:18.220
Also, a lot of special projects
within the company.

00:01:18.220 --> 00:01:21.150
We will work with business
groups and pull together.

00:01:21.150 --> 00:01:26.500
An issue may come up they want a financial
representative on the team to ensure

00:01:26.500 --> 00:01:29.130
that they're putting in the right controls.

00:01:29.130 --> 00:01:31.970
So I spend a lot of time working
with the various business groups,

00:01:31.970 --> 00:01:35.180
reviewing what they're putting
in, assuring that is measuring

00:01:35.180 --> 00:01:36.930
up to the controls that needs to be in place.
