My Reflection -- Week 11 & 12

Within one more month, my internship is coming to an end. However, I was assigned few important tasks to complete.

Firstly, Ms Gillian, head of Human Resource & Administration, appointed me as the person in charge to modify the details of the petty cash claims procedure. As company has a lot of interns in different departments, they may not understand on how to claim their petty cash. Therefore, I have the responsibility to clarify it immediately. Since I have the basic accounting knowledge, it is not difficult to track all the previous transactions into the new petty cash claim book.

I am preparing 2014 files for doing internal audit
The prepared files have to keep in boxes
Moreover, Chai Ling and I were selected to get involved in the internal audit preparations. To be honest, I know nothing about being an internal auditor. Sooner, we were asked to have a meeting with Mr Victor in order to have necessary guidance to proceed. The core objective of the meeting is to learn how to work out a high quality of financial statement for each company.  He asked us write down all the important notes and do not hesitate to ask questions if we unsure. With the assist of Mr Victor, I have learnt how to be a great internal auditor. Internal auditing is an independent and consulting activity to improve the company’s operations. While preparing the financial statements, we can provide an independent viewpoint and advice on the areas for improvement. Lastly, all the prepared financial statements will be presented to managing director, Mr Victor as he wants to review the reports in order to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of governance, risk management and control processes. According to the KPIs, the dateline of the preparation is set by start of April. Well, I understand that it is impossible for me to engage in the activity until the moment we submit reports to audit firm, but I will try my best to do them as much as I can and sometimes I spend more overtime hours on the job.
