>> So, my name is Lionel [inaudible], currently I work as a treasury analyst for a healthcare organization here in the Maryland area. And I work in the treasury department, so basically what we do is manage the overall finances of the organization. For me what I do on a daily basis is basically matching what the bank says we have in cash with our operations. So, I deal a lot with what we have in liquidity as an organization. My day-to-day activities also include reaching out to the other financial departments. So, when you look at an organization, when you look at finances you see accounting, you see payroll, investment, so treasury is at the center of that. So, we kind of oversee what's going on with our cash, our assets, our liabilities, investments, that kind of stuff yeah. As a treasury department we have to look for any type of ERP, so those are enterprise resource planning systems. So, those include how we communicate with the outside world, how we do reports. So every once in a while, like in my case right now we're working on finding a new company, a new provider for that. So, we're working on a new project. So that would be kind of -- it's a big project, it doesn't happen often. We also have little projects that we do on a monthly basis. And then we have in finance every month you have to close the books. So that process usually starts towards the end of the month and at the beginning of the following month. So, it changes a little bit every month, but we do have some tasks that have to be done every day.
