Assistant Accountant
As an Assistant accountant in the Organisation the value I have added is to a greater extent in my first 3 weeks of placement. When doing the General administration things such as filling, customer service and customer handling I have been able to reduce the workload from my senior accountant. He is able to use this time for the completion of some other task instead. I have been managing the internal needs of the company, which has resulted in a smoother operation of the organisation as a whole and has resulted in higher customer satisfaction for which the Organisation has received some compliments.

An efficient budget meant my input was very useful for the Organisation.

The Organisation has its own finance company, which lends money; I have also emailed customers for the reminder of overdue payments. This process was not done on regular basis in the past. The customers have been

Willie has also found that the A/R department is significantly understaffed which means that they do not have the staff and/or resources to verify the extent and validity of customer claims. Willie has found many instances especially in large accounts where the customer alleges a claim for flaws in the books received, and pays less than the original invoice. The short payments from these customer’s is not being credited to the original invoices. The payments in fact are being credited to receivables from prior impaired transactions. The CFO of the company has told the A/R department to effectively treat all invoices as collectible and “to apply payments to carried-over balances. The CFO has stated that the customer’s claims lack basis. The CFO receives a bonus based upon the profitability of the company. Willie has approached the CFO and told him that the application of payments in accounts receivable are misguided and must change. The CFO has stated that “he can’t do that (make any changes)”. In addition the CFO has made a veiled threat to Willie, stating “who…

    Trade Loading, which is also known as channel stuffing is a practice where a company inflates its sales figures by forcing more products through a distribution channel than the channel is capable of selling to the world at large.

    I would like to start off with a simple, yet powerful quote, “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” -Wayne Gretzky. This quote does truly speak levels, which is why when I take shots I go big or I go home. I want to become a registered CPA and I would like to become the President of the University of Central Florida’s Phi Beta Lambda. I believe I can achieve these goals because of how I have adapted, developed, and changed over just my high school years.

I was an average teenager, I took all regular and one intermediate class. Little did I know I would be taking dual enrollment…
