abhigeorge 6 / 20 2 Apr 7, 2013 #1You recently took a part-time job working for a local company. After a few weeks you realised there were some problems with the job.Write a letter to the manager of the company. In your letter- explain why you took the job- describe the problems that you experienced- suggest what could be done about them-------------------------------------------------------------Dear Charles,I work part time in the accounts department of your company. I took up this job to gain practical experience in accountancy, which would help me with my CA course later. However in my 3 weeks of work here I have discovered some problems.All transactional data are stored locally in computers of accountants, and later they copy it manually into the balance sheet. This leaves a lot of room for error and is not a recommended practice. There should be a standard method to post transaction records and updating balance sheet automatically.The software used to maintain the financial data has very limited features. For example there is no possibility to prepare a report based on a particular ledger account. I strongly suggest that the company should invest in better accounting software. Some of the popular softwares are Tally and AccountPro.Maintaining financial data correctly is very crucial for a company both in terms of profitability and compliance to government regulations. Thus it is important that we standardize our accountancy practices. I hope you would consider my proposal and do the needful.Thanks and regardsAbhi
