Week 15 Day 73 (16 Jul 2025)


Activity


- Continued keying in the bank paid transactions starting from May until July 2024, which I left off yesterday. After inputting the data, I proceeded to generate the bank reconciliation for those months to ensure the records matched with the bank statements.


Key Learning


- I strengthened my ability to trace and verify financial transactions, ensuring they align with the bank statement.

- I also improved my familiarity with the bank reconciliation process, especially how to identify and resolve discrepancies between the ledger and the actual bank records.

- This process taught me the importance of maintaining accuracy month by month to avoid a backlog of mismatched records later on.


Reflection


Today was another step deeper into the real-world responsibilities of accounting work. As I continued with the bank paid entries and reconciliations, I found myself getting more comfortable recognizing patterns in transaction flow and understanding how each entry connects to the company’s overall financial health. Although it can feel repetitive, I’ve realized that consistency and precision are what make a good accountant. Completing reconciliation for multiple months gave me a sense of accomplishment, and it’s satisfying to see the numbers align after careful checking. Each task, though seemingly small, plays a role in building the full financial picture and I’m glad I’m gaining hands-on experience in this critical area.
