W20 Day 100 of Nana's Internship

 

Week 20 Day 100 (22 Aug 2025)

Activity

- Continued checking the old client’s accounts by printing the Profit & Loss (P&L) statement to confirm whether the profit/loss tallied with my manual calculations.

Key Learning

- Strengthened my ability to reconcile old records with the P&L, which required more focus because of the outdated nature of the accounts.

- Learned that old accounts often involve extra challenges, like missing or unclear details, which make accuracy even more important.

- Realized that even when dealing with past records, careful checking plays a big role in maintaining financial reliability.

Reflection

Reaching Day 100 of my internship feels meaningful, even though I’m still dealing with the old accounts. Sometimes it feels like a never-ending process, but at the same time, I know this kind of work is training me to be more patient and detail oriented. Printing out the P&L and comparing it with my manual calculations made me realize how important it is to trace and confirm every figure, especially for older records where mistakes can easily slip through.

Although the task may seem repetitive, I can see how much I’ve improved since the start. Before, I would get confused and frustrated when dealing with unclear or incomplete records, but now I approach them with more confidence and a methodical mindset. I’ve also realized that even when checking old accounts, the accuracy of my work can still have an impact on the client’s overall financial standing. This gave me a sense of responsibility and reminded me that no matter how “small” the task feels, it contributes to the bigger picture.
