Congrats! Yes, this is a declaration of above average competence. I remember back when I worked in insurance, and had to figure out how to set premiums for a super account that was in PNG kina, with added Parliamentary super on top of it. Took some serious research. And a VERY complicated spreadsheet. With date ranges. And currency conversions. Everyone else chickened out when faced with the problem, the mongrels, cos it was going to be audited ... but I survived and so will you. I have faith in you.
