My role basically receives LC’s and pass along to our Accounting Department for approval. Only later do I get involved with documentation to avoid discrepancies. Now that I’ve had this training I no longer fear the LC and will have a better understanding of how to prepare the correct documentation. The instructor did a wonderful job of getting all of the participants involved. – International Sales Support Representative”
