Training at EY has already ended. I have to learnt audit and practice it with the case study given to us during training. I think I am the only or maybe one of the few Year 2 students working as a VT in EY. So, I am like a complete dummy during training. As the trainer would use professional short terms to explain the concepts, procedures and etc during training and I always need to turn to person next to me and ask what the full term was.
Day 1 of training,
Orientation was boring. Tiffany and I went in late and when we entered the room, OMG!!! So many people! I got quite a shocked. Anyway, they showed us a video on the operation of the company and etc. Then, the most interesting and exciting news was the best VT this year would have the chance to fly to Florida to meet the other VT of EY from different countries to meet the CEO of EY and of course to interact with the other VTs. How cool is that! How I wish I was the one chosen but I shall not build castle in the air. I don't think they would dare to send a year 2 student who hasn't even done the audit module to represent Singapore. Haha. Anyway, for the rest of the day, the trainer went through theory, it is some audit methodology which is supposed to be learnt in one semester. However, as quite a number of VTs have already done their audit module, she just spent like 15 or 20 minutes or so on each step. Well, it was dry and boring k. anw, I don't think I remember much now. Haha. Oops.
Day 2 of training,
It was SO tiring as we did quite a lot. We prepared the audit working papers and then auditing cash AND auditing current liabilities. Gosh, that was a lot for one day! Actually, I enjoy auditing cash and current liabilities maybe like a bit only. Haha. That's because I manage to finish doing and reasoning the case study within the time given. Hee. Overall, that day, I was mentally and physically tired. Mentally, cause we were like sitting in our seats working out all the invoices and all, keeping drinking hot tea to keep awake and keep warm ( hee, I don't like coffee). Physically, cause my heels are like killing me! We have to wear cover toed heels. The heels don't hurt. It is the cover toed part that hurts a LOT! I have blister for both toes
Day 3 of training,
Learnt to audit PPE. Now, I still don't really understand. Dieeeee... I really hope I won't get to do that. Cause, I really really still don't undertand.
Overall, I am really glad to have known a few friends who I can really relate to in EY. I guess all 4 of us has something in common – our heels always get stuck in drains or whatsoever that has a gap on the floor, and, all of us except tiffany got blister on our feet. There was me, "bao bao", cindy and tiffany. However, I guess we should be going to different departments of AABS.
Met up with them today, and tiffany and I became kind of like a tour guide for bao bao and cindy. As bao bao hasn’t been back in Singapore for quite a while, she became quite rusty with the ways and cindy is not a Singaporean, so we have to show them the "way". Hee. We exchange Christmas presents too. as I am not a Christian, Christmas to me is just another holidays. But, it is quite fun receiving presents. Haha. =P
I got a present from bao bao and tiffany got a present from me!
Hope she likes my present.
And, a Merry Christmas to all!
