A Report on Internship carried out in the Accounts Department at Gogonyo Secondary School, Pallisa District

Abstract

This report is about an internship training carried out at Gogonyo Secondary School for a period of nine (9) weeks. The training involved activities such as recording cash payments and receipts, preparing receipts of payments, preparing payment vouchers, local purchase orders and goods received notes, updating students’ ledgers and the cash book, carrying out a cash analysis using the cash analysis book and bank reconciliation among others. The training has improved my communication skills, interpersonal skills and financial skills. Though the training was successful, there was a challenge of students forging bank slips, lack of transport facilitation, lack of a computerized accounting system and uncooperative officers. All in all, the internship training was of a tremendous benefit academically, socially, psychologically and professionally.
