Job Spec

yomamma

Hi,

I have an interview tomorrow and need help with job spec. Can someone please give me a greater explanation of the job spec? I want to go in knowing what the job is about. Clearly its accounts payable and will involve processing invoices and dealing with account queries.

I don't really understand fund expenses and processing fund accounts. Would these be staff expenses such as petrol,biz entertainment etc. Or am I way off? Dont know anything about Northern Trust and went on website to see what they do BBut im still not sure. Can someone explain to me what they do please?

Cheers. Here is job spec

Whats the job title? Do you have an accounting background?

Hi, Thanks for reply

Sorry its accounts payable analyst. I worked in accounts payable with AIB.

Well the companys main area is fund administration i.e fund accountant and hence the references to funds and their expenses as in management fees.. etc, so I doubt you would be dealing with staff expenses but that would be a guess as the job title isn't "fund accountant". You might have gotten better feedback on the accountancy forum but It's perhaps to late now. Anyway good luck.
