Sample Answer
At my previous company, I noticed our monthly reporting process showed a sudden 18% spike in “on‑time” deliveries. My task was to validate the numbers before they went to the executive team. I manually reconciled 3 months of data from our ERP and Excel templates and found a formula error that misclassified partial shipments as on‑time. I involved the operations lead, finance analyst, and our BI specialist to review my findings and confirm the logic. Together, we rebuilt the report in Power BI with locked formulas, data validation rules, and an automated cross‑check against the ERP. As a result, on‑time delivery was correctly reported at 91% (vs. 109%), audit adjustments dropped by 60%, and monthly report preparation time fell from 6 hours to 2 hours.
