Reflection
Today
was both productive and enriching. I had the opportunity to meet with my
visiting lecturer, who reviewed my logbook and shared valuable feedback and
encouragement. It was reassuring to know that my documentation was on the right
track, and his advice gave me better clarity on how to improve the quality of
my weekly reflections and task summaries. I felt motivated and more confident
about my practicum journey after the session.
I
continued with the KWSP, SOCSO, and EIS registration task, although progress
was limited because I’m still waiting for the client to send over the necessary
documents. This made me realize how external delays can affect our workflow and
the importance of proactive follow-ups. Assisting Mr. Lim in amending a client’s
account due to a change in income declaration was a new challenge. It taught me
how quickly accounting decisions can shift, and how important it is to maintain
flexibility while still ensuring accuracy. I also learned that communication
between colleagues and clients is key in making sure everything aligns.
Later,
I resumed my bank transaction entries and started the 2023 bank reconciliation.
It felt quite satisfying to see how different pieces of information came
together. Although it was a bit tiring due to the number of tasks, I enjoyed
the variety and the sense of accomplishment as I completed each part. I’m
starting to feel more comfortable handling multiple responsibilities and
adapting to real accounting situations.
