A few days after we pulled back into port, some inspectors decided to pay my ship a visit. The FEG Audit is conducted once every eighteen months and the previous Disbursing Officer had warned me that the ship was due for its next one. They are meant to be surprise inspections but as I knew it was coming, it was not a total shocker.
There was only so much they could grade me on as I had less than a month of experience. That was one point that had me on edge. All of the records were still from the departed Disbo. I did not have all of my letters of authority, which could not really be helped. They mostly used it to teach me what I was doing right and wrong and give me a few new contacts. I really appreciated that, it confirmed that I was mostly on the right track.
I was afraid that I might not pass the inspection due to some major mistakes they caught but passed with a satisfactory performance. They mentioned some aspects I could improve on and some corrections I needed to make. I can only improve from here so I plan on knocking their socks off when they come back in about eighteen months. It was reassuring that all my funds were completely accurate, now I just need to keep them that way.
