The first day:
I met Joni in Emirates Tower she talk to me about the department what each of them do .Then she give me a personal profile sheet to complete at home and a brochure about the KPMG .and told me to go home because there is nothing for me to do .later she send me a massage to meet her at Emirates Tower at 9:00 am on Monday .No work
The second day:
Joni gathered all the students who came for work placement and talk to us about the company and distributed us to the departments. Then they give us laptop to use for the work and made us sing a sheet that we will not reveal anything because we as auditors have access to very confidential documents. Joni asked us to meet our Team member on DSO then go to the client. No work
Third day:
I went to DSO in IT Plaza .they told me my first client is Emitec and my team is already there so I have to go to Emitec.
The department I work in is International, communication and Entertainment, My first Task in Emitec was:
1- Revenue and test of control
2- Cut of is taking the last 5 invoices from 2010 and the first 5 invoices form 2011 and make sure they are in Sequence . For example if they provide the fourth and the sixth invoices the auditors will ask for the fifth and the reason for not providing it. Any excuses like we lost the invoices or we don’t have it is not acceptable .this is the one of the ways that the audit company protect the client’s company form fraud.
I get along with my team so well ,they are so friendly they explain anything that I do not now .they encourage me to ask question if I don’t know. The things I like about my job as an entry is that you do like everything in accounting if you work as auditor so it will be a very good experience. For my first week, I still don’t have something I don’t like about my job. I try my best to understand what I have to do if they give me a task to do ,I ask a lot of questions if I have any doubt to make sure I did the task accurately . IT skills is important because all the work done in Excel.
Forth day:
The work I done was:
1- Reversal Revenue
2- Legal and professional expenses
3- checking the cash and the statement and bank reconciliations
Week 1 requirements
