Overview
I support month-end process including accrual postings, journal entries, cross charges, reporting and invoicing to sister companies and pensions subsidiary. I also oversee Balance Sheet reconciliation process and completion of certain balance sheets. I work with Financial Accountant and liaise with Colliers regarding Dealer Site rental charges and collections. I was involved in a functional project (within Finance) and a cross-functional project (with other Under-graduates).
Skills
I have learnt how to the accounting software SAP. I have also developed my Excel skills, learning new formulas and implementing these into my processes.
Responsibilities
Yes, after my handover period of three weeks, I was given a lot of responsibility. I could always go for help if needed, and certain tasks at the beginning I would check with the relevant to make sure there are correct.
Support & Guidance
I received a three-week handover period which helped me settle in, and learn how to my tasks. I received a lot of support and guidance from my manager when I needed help, and also from other members of my team.
Culture
Company culture and general atmosphere was good and friendly.
Your Impressions
I enjoyed the placement very much. As my tasks were quite repetitive, towards the end of my year, the tasks became quite tedious.

Research current trends in the industry, e.g. the move to electric vehicles, ZEV mandate, etc.
