This period was dedicated as a requirement of my degree course. My position was primarily the financial accountant’s assistant. Much of my work surrounded producing internal periodic reports (sales, inventory and cash flow), and working on the sites payroll. I was also involved with management accounting with requesting future sales and material purchases. Project involvement included the Sarbanes Oxley Act compliance programme and integrating another sites’ stock and purchase orders.
