Week 8 Day 40 (30 May 2025)


Activity


- Continued keying in the payment voucher (PV) transactions for the client from August 2024 to March 2025 using the SQL system.

- Proceeded to key in the bank-in transactions from June 2024 to March 2025 for the same client.


Key Learning


- Learned to maintain consistency in documenting transaction dates and references while inputting high volumes of data to avoid confusion later.

- Improved my understanding of the flow between payment vouchers and bank-in transactions and how they affect the client’s cash book and bank reconciliation.

- Realized the importance of chronological entry when dealing with long transaction periods, especially to ensure accurate monthly tracking.


Reflection


Today’s task required a lot of focus and patience, as I had to deal with a high volume of transactions for a long period from mid-2024 to early 2025. I began by continuing the payment voucher entries, making sure each transaction was correctly categorized and matched with the right supporting document. It took some time to cross-check the dates and amounts, especially since the documents were not always in perfect order. After finishing the PV entries, I moved on to the bank-in transactions, which also needed careful attention to ensure consistency and accuracy.

Even though the work was repetitive, I noticed that I’m becoming more familiar and faster with the SQL system compared to the first time I used it. I’ve also started to develop a routine that helps me stay organized and avoid small mistakes, like entering duplicate amounts or using the wrong dates. By the end of the day, I felt satisfied with my progress. It reminded me that accounting work, although detailed and sometimes tiring, becomes more manageable with a structured approach and experience. This task helped me realize how crucial accuracy and consistency are in maintaining reliable financial records.
