Week 17 Day 84 (31 Jul 2025)


Activity


- Continued checking all the transactions with other files to verify whether my records were accurate or if there were any missing transactions. This included reviewing costs and commissions from car sales, advertisement expenses, and petrol charges.


Key Learning


- Strengthened understanding of expense categories related to car trading businesses.

- Learned to cross-reference documents efficiently to ensure complete and accurate transaction records.

- Gained better insight into tracing advertisement and promotional costs back to specific business activities.


Reflection


Today’s work required high attention to detail as I continued the process of verifying and reconciling transactions, especially those tied to the car sales business. It involved reviewing cost and commission breakdowns as well as related advertising and petrol charges, which are often scattered across different files and formats. The more I handled these cases, the more I realized the importance of consistency in documentation and proper file organization. Some transactions were difficult to trace due to unclear descriptions or missing backup documents. This experience taught me to always double-check for supporting documents and to document notes for future referencing. It also made me appreciate the role of proper categorization which is mixing up advertising costs or petrol charges with unrelated claims could skew the overall financial picture. Despite the repetitive nature of the task, I found it satisfying to piece together the full story of each transaction and ensure everything made sense.
