A trainee accountant joined the headquarters of a large firm. He was a graduate from a famous university. On his first day he dialed the canteen and shouted into the phone, "Get me some coffee, quick!" The voice from the other end responded "You fool; you've dialled the wrong extension! Do you know who you are talking to?" "No," replied the trainee accountant. "It's the Managing Partner, you fool!" the voice shouted back. The trainee did some quick thinking and asked forcefully, "And do you know who YOU are talking to, you fool?" "No," replied the Managing Partner. "Good," said the trainee as he hung up.

Since June, I have been working on various projects at Alif & Co Chartered Accountants, London Branch, as a Trainee Accountant. I am fortunate to have a very friendly and supportive trainer who has been instrumental in helping me complete these tasks accurately. The learning process has been much easier thanks to his guidance, and I am deeply grateful for his invaluable support. During my internship, I have gained experience in BANK RECONCILIATION, CREATING ACCOUNTS in accounting software, INVOICING, PAYROLL, TAX, VAT submission, VAT claims, TRANSACTION checking, and many other tasks. (Please note: I have not yet completed my internship, so there is still much to learn in the days ahead). As I prepare to enter the competitive job market in the UK, I recognize the challenges ahead. Observing many students on LinkedIn, I see that success often follows numerous failures. There are rarely first-attempt or overnight successes; instead, repeated failures teach different methods to try again. As Iman Gadzhi wisely said, "First or overnight success will build ego, and slow success builds character." I believe that I am gathering the experience and qualities necessary to pursue my dream. Sooner or later, it will come to fruition, In Sha Allah. Please keep me in your prayers. <3

I feel honoured to have completed an enriching internship at the Oil and Gas Development Company Limited OGDCL Official in the Finance Department. Over the course of four weeks, I had the opportunity to work in different departments and with various employees, each of whom helped me gain further knowledge of the industry.

This experience has significantly enhanced my knowledge and understanding of finance within the oil and gas sector.

MY INTERNSHIP EXPERIANCE IN AMARANADHA REDDY & CO Internship at Amaranadha Reddy & Co has been a great experience, an essence of accounting profession for me. The first week, I was oriented about the firm’s mission, values, history, and services which gave me a strong ground to practice on. Interaction with my colleague and dealing with different departments increased my awareness about the firm and I got better professionalization. Typical activities at the workplace during the first days entailed trying to understand organizational chart, reporting cases of computer problems, and other general procedural requirements at the company. One of the strenuous tasks that I was exposed to during my internship was to learn Tally. ERP 9 and Tally Prime 3 both software is integrated with advance accounting system. I acquired data entry skills, and record-keeping, report writing skills, and skills for preparing and analyzing simple financial statements as required for my responsibilities. The internship also established a great deal of concern with GST laws and regulations. I am dealing with registration to the GST and creation e-invoice and filing the GST returns both practically and theoretically. This phase refined the analytical thinking and problem-solving skills that are found in a business environment. Finally, in the semester’s last weeks, I covered general accounting and audit policies including the preparation of financial statements and audit work. This was indeed one of the most useful experiences in that I got a first-hand feel of real-life financial feel. All in all, I had a good experience working at Amaranadha Reddy & Co, and feel equipped to pursue the profession in the field of finance and accounting. I acquired important competencies, vast comprehension of the profession, orientation, and assurance; thus, it was an unforgettable and fruitful experience.
