Introduction



     Welcome to my online portfolio or e-portfolio, this will be the platform as to where I shall share my internship experience as a vocational trainee (VT) at one of the top accounting firms in the world, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).

     The brief span of 11 weeks in the audit line proved to be quite fruitful since I not only enjoyed my time there whilst learning new skills and audit knowledge but it also reaffirmed my stance as to purse audit as my career. I believe the best part of the experience was that even though it was short-lived but I was exposed to as many as six different clients in two separate industries. PwC is quite known for its extensive list of huge clients and this was proven true when I had the chance to work for the likes of Genting Berhad and Taisho Pharmaceuticals or better known for its Livita energy drinks. 

     Not only that, I was exposed to businesses in different states where some where semi-active or dormant to the ones in highly competitive markets with some leading their industry sectors to the ones whom were making losses. Furthermore, there were the low-risk clients and then there were the high-risk clients that required me to be more alert and detailed in doing my part of the work to ensure that the quality PwC puts out was not jeopardized. 

     Since I had no previous experience learning audit, everything was quite new and interesting to me. Additionally, most of my time was spent at the clients' premises so to those who say audit is mundane work, they are definitely mistaken in my opinion. Overall, the experience has trained me to be more meticulous in my work and has sharpened my focus. 

     The rest of the e-portfolio would have more detailed documentation as well as graphics so do proceed.
