In fact ... the main point

In fact, you are the third person in the Finance Department, it was you who was negotiating, you were supposed to understand the main point of those negotiations, weren't you?

The point here is ... what was at issue ...

Explanation:
There are a lot of idiomatic options, depending on whether this is a business letter, a transcript of a conversation, or what. For example:

The point here is that you are the third-ranking person in the Finance Department, and you're the one who negotiated [this], so don't you think you should ave understood what was at issue?

Alternatives:

The point here is / In point of fact / The main point is

[this] / this contract / this agreement (just because "who negotiated X" is a smoother construction than, say, "who conducted these negotiations")

what was at issue / what they were chiefly about
