    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

    • I was given more responsibility than I expected. I am responsible for the month end closing for one of the books that we manage. This fully depends on me to prepare journals and liaise with stakeholders to so that i can accurately forecast the expected costs. I was also responsible for the monthly intercompany recharges.
