Functions:

• Gathering the daily broker files and ACE data for adds to merged reporting file to be used by Finance (pull the ACE data, confirm Buckland’s data is received, push EXL for their data, upload files to the Teams site for Finance, eventually, take this process over from finance on the file mergers, etc.)
• Plus, this will move to reporting out once a month, these resources could work on the last two weeks of the data to try to make them as complete as possible.
• Investigate the duty spikes that show in the specific week time frame for the report out meeting (like the Wednesday 12:30 meeting with Lynch) Data mining for escalations report out and further investigation: could be any combination of: HTS, part number, supplier, FTA, duties paid, COO, etc.
• Data mining and investigations on specific requests coming out of Sales, Purchasing, other areas and summarize findings. Investigate findings of the data mining for accuracy, actions that need to be taken (duty recovery, changes for broker filings, missing documentation, additional FOCUS solicitations, etc.)
