Personal Statement

IBM Global Financing offers multi vendor information technology (IT) financing solutions. It provides funding to buy or lease hardware, software, and services from any technology vendor to small businesses and firms; asset management tools that allow clients to track, manage, and control technology assets and related financing contracts; expertise in structuring and administering complex deals; and commercial financing that provides a suite of working capital offerings. IBM Global Financing also operates an asset recovery business, which assists companies in getting rid of obsolete systems by recycling, reselling, or disposing of them.

My primary responsibility involved control point documents. I worked with a multi-billion dollar application known as ICFS (International Customer Financing System). My task was to ensure that for every relationship between two applications within ICFS there was an up-to-date control point document illustrating the controls in place to make sure that data was not lost or damaged. Although this type of work may not have been related to my academic work, it was a very important process to the corporation from an auditing perspective. It was a rather long and cumbersome process mapping out all of the applications, learning their controls, and ensuring that there was a document to match, but it was a worthwhile learning experience.
