• Automate tests for:
  • Interface validations (schema, transformation, posting logic).
  • Reconciliation checks
  • Report accuracy and KPI thresholds.
  • Negative and exception scenarios (duplicate invoices, out-of-period postings).
• Integrate test automation into CI/CD (e.g., runs on change to mappings, rules, or code).
• Defect triage & root-cause analysis with clear reproduction steps and impact quantification.

Data Quality, Controls, & Compliance

• Define and enforce controls: balancing rules, maker-checker, approval workflows, audit trails.
• SOX/ITGC alignment: change management, access controls, evidence, and documentation.
• Reconciliation frameworks: tolerance rules, exception queues, escalation SLAs.
• Data lineage/documentation: source → transform → target with field-level traceability.

Delivery & Lifecycle Management

• Backlog ownership: translate finance initiatives into epics/stories with business value.
• Release readiness: cutover plans, environment strategy, smoke tests, rollback criteria.
• Hypercare: stability metrics, defect burn-down, end-user training/support playbooks.
• Continuous improvement: identify automation opportunities (close, reconciliations, allocations).

Analytics on Testing & Operations

• Create dashboards (e.g., Power BI/Tableau) for:
  • Test coverage, pass/fail trends, MTTR for defects.
  • Data quality KPIs, reconciliation exceptions, timing SLAs.
  • Close cycle timing, throughput, cost-to-serve.
• A/B or before/after analysis to quantify automation benefits and process changes.
• Predictive monitoring: flag anomalies and predict the right result
