Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Each month, I am required to help out with the month end tasks such as creating creating recharge, reclass and manual accrual journals. I also have to submit the cost predictions for the upcoming months to the US for them to process and assist the IT Tech and Procurement team by doing the monthly recharges for the IT equipment purchased by the other business units. I assist people to raise purchase orders and approve invoices.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
During this placement, I was given many responsibilities. Some of the main responsibilities included managing one of the lines on our profit and loss statement as well as taking responsibility of our IT Tech file so I know what was brought, how much was given out and which business units need to be recharged.

I also feel that my team working skills have developed as I am required to work with different teams in the business too as well as help others in my team.

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
At the start of the internship, there was a 3 week handover period where I was trained by the intern who I was taking over from. This was very useful as I got to understand the job from someone who had been through the whole process I went through. My manager and team were also very helpful and supportive and they always helped me out when I needed help.

Company Culture

The company culture is great. There are a lot of opportunities to interact with people outside your team as well as get to know about other people's role who you don't work with on a daily basis. They have a lot of events running and they always encourage everyone to take part.
