Reflection
Today’s tasks gave me more exposure
to handling real accounting records. I continued keying in sales and expense
data and also communicated with the client to request supporting documents.
This was a good opportunity to improve my professional communication skills.
While waiting for the documents, Ms. Amber taught me how to fill in the fixed
assets schedule and calculate depreciation expenses. It was a new and
interesting part of the accounting process that I hadn’t done before. After
completing all data entry, we checked if everything matched the Statement of
Profit and Loss and the Balance Sheet. This taught me how important accuracy
and cross-checking are in financial reporting.
