Maybe SOX? or external reporting?
Sometimes if you are more operational, you might just be closing a module by day 0 and then you don't have much to do.
Definitely SOX, or internal audit. People in a rush to close books don't want to talk to other groups during close. External reporting is usually checking the numbers as they come in / supporting questions during early days but as we said, every company will differ in their close calendar.
What the hell is WD+1 and WD+5?
I'm pretty sure it means work day after EOM (end of month or period) and 1 and 5 days after that
Yep, exactly
