 My feedback regarding Strategy Management System is now part of their final plan (some misleading financial ratios were discussed to arrive at final formula after full understanding)

 Successfully have given feedback on Ocs Monthly financial statements subject to reclassification and financial measurement & recognition as per reporting standards to overcome the risk for decision making.
 For operating companies having negative bottom lines (TSL, SGN, and APWS) had successfully done scenario analysis to get the advantage of operating leverage.
