Week 18 Day 88 (06 Aug 2025)


Activity


- Continued cross-checking my previous records with the cost of goods sold (COGS) based on the car sales records provided by the business owner, which were organized separately by car plate numbers starting with the months of November and December 2024.


Key Learning


- Strengthened my attention to detail when handling month-specific and vehicle-specific financial data.

- Learned the importance of maintaining consistency when matching manual records with digital accounting entries.


Reflection


Today’s task was quite mentally draining, as I spent most of the time diving into files and matching up cost of goods sold (COGS) entries with the car sales records provided by the business owner. Since the documents were organized by car plate numbers, it took a lot of focus and patience to go through them one by one. It felt a bit repetitive at times, but I reminded myself that these details really matter in getting the accounts right. This process made me realize how crucial consistency is in documentation when things are organized clearly, it saves so much time and reduces the chance of mistakes. I also became more aware of how easily a small mismatch can affect the whole financial picture. Even though it was a challenging day, I’m glad I’m developing sharper eyes for spotting discrepancies and becoming more confident in handling real accounting tasks.
