Difficulties

There are problems faced when doing the project, be it trivial or serious. Many of us faced difficulties in doing the entries and its not because we don't know how to do but we had different opinions about it. Asking around different groups and getting different opinions is one frustrating thing we had to face. Thus this project really gave us a chance of expressing each individual way of thinking and we can learn from each other.

Of course we do not have all the time in the world to do our project as there are times we had to leave unwillingly because of classes and the 2 labs are always full. There are cases of virus in lab 9 too! Trojan horse detected!

And for my personal difficulty would be my time management. Honestly I did not went for all the group meetings because of my CCA commitments and camps. Trying to cope everything has been a challenging task for me during that period of time.

Strengths

Personally, I feel that our group has been on the right pace. We are neither fast nor slow. We were very prudent with our entries and making sure that everything has been processed properly before moving on the next phase of the project. Everyone did what they are supposed to do.

Contributions

Everyone of us did have a chance to do abit recording of transactions (AP, AR invoices, receipts entries) for us to practice. Of course there are main jobs being allocated to everyone. For me, I did the opening balances of the GL, creating accounts, processed recurring entries and occasionally supervising the what my groupmates do, making sure that there are no honest errors.


What I have learnt

This project gave us a good experience of what an Accpac software can really do. We are exposed to many skills such as learning how to setup AP, AR, GL, processing entries, creating accounts, doing void cheques and many more. I have learnt how convenient a computerised accounting system is than to manual processing. I am sure that this project will benefit us when we enter the accounting workforce.
