Overview
In controlling work is based on cycles which can be monthly, weekly or scheduled. You will be reporting figures to higher level management, make corrections to financial data. Partake in revenue recognition as well as help with forecast. You will also have ad hoc tasks to complete such as generating new reports or getting data for colleges.
Skills
Excel and using SAP analysis for office is a key hard skill I have developed. I already used excel but during the placement I have mastered it and AFO is a powerful tool I thought myself during the placement which has been invaluable to me and the business. Through acquiring these hard skills I have also developed soft skills such as problem solving, critical thinking and communication.
Responsibilities
During the placement you have a wide variety of responsibility placed on you during the internship based on the time of month. Your work load a bit light to begin with but you have the opportunity to develop in different business areas by asking different team leaders for work or to ask your own manager and team mates for work. I spent my time implementing Analysis for office in reports to increase time efficiency significantly.
Support & Guidance
You have a buddy with you and team members who are open to guiding you through your placement. There is a wide array of support available to you so all you need to do is ask for it.
Culture
SAP work culture is excellent. SAP is very understanding and has commitments to flexible working in terms of time and location where possible. The people you will be working with are wide spread from different cultures and backgrounds. SAP is a company that really cares about it's employees.
Your Impressions
The placement has been very enjoyable, I have learned a lot about SAP and controlling. The placement has allowed me to develop important relationships with key people which will be very important for my future career. I have particularly enjoyed implementing efficiency and creating though AFO transforming my work from the more manual processes to automated processes achieving efficiency between 90-99%.
Yes
SAP is a company which is ever changing and so is the companies needs. You need to be able to keep up with this change and make sure you are able to find new and unique ways to add value to your work.
