[John Posada <jposada99 -at- gmail -dot- com>]

I am the doc author for my department (AML Compliancr) docs. My docs
include 3 procedure manuals; 850 pages, 700 pages, and 1400 pages. My docs
are used during department audits by internal and external audits.

Anothet person on my team just handles the audits.
