Intern Diary 1

2nd week
I was assigned to Company H. My senior taught me on casting and cross referencing. Besides that, he also taught me some useful shortcut keys for Microsoft Excel. On the second day, I assist on auditing in human resource department- payroll section. I was tasked to agree the date of offer letter, name and designation, name of authorized personnel and the date of joining or last working date with the information provided by the human resource department. The purpose is to ensure the existence of new joiners and the accuracy of the data input in the system by payroll department. On the third day and forth day, I was assigned to select samples for journal voucher and payment voucher. The size of sample depends on the PwC Audit Guide. Due to the frequency of the transactions, 45 samples have been selected for both vouchers. For journal voucher, accept-reject testing is also done to validate the completeness of the voucher. After selecting the samples, I was assigned to vouch and trace back to the documents provided by client.

My seniors, Sally, Andrew, Syarif and Kok Kean Teong. Kok is my UM senior. The most funny thing that I can recall is "mosquito in Klang", haha.


3rd week
On the third day, I have lunch with shook han and shee yan. Shee yan shared with us about the job and the professional exam. If I were going to do audit, then I think I will take ACCA paper. Graduate from university still isnt enough as I still have no qualification required.

Today is the fourth day, but still I have nothing to do, nth to do, and nothing to do. Almost every day listening to her job description, but still I have nothing to do, Initially, I still can bear the bore, but this is already the fourth day and I started to feel that I am as no value. My presence in the company does not add value, and therefore nothing I can contribute to the company. I experienced “culture shock” as most of my colleagues are English educated and I can’t even speak fluent English. There is gap between me and I, and between company and I. Perhaps small company is suitable for me. I should go back to small firm instead of big firm? Is still early to make judgment as this is just the third week I being here. Sometimes, I feel that someone did not put himself in others’ shoes, as when the words are pouring out, I am also those who are not giving any job, or giving some simple job. I know I am just envy, or more frankly speaking I am just jealous. If there is still nothing for me, I would like to declare that today is my emo day.
