• Tackle real-world surveys: Prepare responses to important business surveys and collect the right documentation to back them up.
• Analyze and test financial data: Dive into sampling and testing journal entries, sharpening your analytical skills and data-integrity know-how.
• Investigate unrecorded liabilities: Perform search for unrecorded liabilities - learn to spot what’s missing and why it matters.
• Hands-on with financial statements: Support the preparation of statutory financial statements and experience the full reporting cycle.
• Journal entry experience: Post statutory journal entries, gaining practical experience with accounting systems and controls.
