Week 15 Day 74 (17 Jul 2025)


Activity


- Continued keying in the bank paid transactions from August to September 2024.

- Generated bank reconciliation for the respective months.


Key Learning


- Gained deeper understanding of how bank paid transactions are categorized and recorded, especially when dealing with bulk monthly entries.

- Improved my efficiency in performing bank reconciliation and learned how to trace discrepancies quickly by identifying missing or incorrect entries.

- Strengthened my patience and focus, which are essential when working on detailed tasks over extended periods.


Reflection


Today was another intense yet fulfilling session of data entry and reconciliation. As I continued inputting the bank paid transactions, I became more mindful of the patterns in client spending—monthly bills, ad-hoc payments, recurring transfers—and how each movement impacts the overall financial picture. While keying in transactions may seem repetitive at times, I’ve come to appreciate how crucial this process is in ensuring accuracy and transparency in a company’s accounts. When I finally generated the bank reconciliation for these months and everything balanced perfectly, it gave me such a satisfying sense of completion. I also realized how much quicker and more efficient I’ve become at detecting errors or mismatches, compared to when I first started this internship. It’s small growths like this that keep me motivated.
