Reflection

At the beginning, I felt quite nervous as it was my first time dealing with real accounting tasks in a workplace setting. I was worried about making mistakes, especially when learning to prepare a full set of accounts, as it seemed complex and detailed. However, with Ms. Chan’s clear guidance and step-by-step explanations, I slowly gained confidence in my ability to complete the tasks correctly. Being assigned actual tasks like keying in payment records into vouchers and supplier payments made me feel trusted and motivated. This experience taught me the importance of accuracy and attention to detail in accounting work. It also helped me understand how theoretical knowledge from my studies is applied in real workplace situations. Overall, I feel that this experience has strengthened both my practical skills and my confidence in working within an accounting environment.
