Soft skills I've learned

I have learned that teamwork is very important for this project. Without the coordination of all the group members, we will not be able to finish the project this smoothly.

Good communication also help us solve many problems.

I have also learned that for this project, we need to be very careful with our work, one wrong move will affect many things, therefore we need to keep some backups just in case.

Time management is also very important, because we do most of the things during the term break, therefore we are able to do other school stuffs when school re-open, and finish the project on time.

Individual contribution to the group project

For this project, I have contributed through a few ways.

On first day doing our project, 10 June, we do all the administrative stuffs and open all the accounts. All my group members and I will give ideas as to whether the account is debit or credit, or falls under balance sheet or income statement. When opening the trial balance, the other group members and I contributed by reading the account name and amount for the typer to type in the accpac system. Then we went on to set up the AR and AP system by creating vendors and customers. Meanwhile, Michelle and I discussed on the double entries.

On the next day, 11 June, my group started entering AP, AR opening balances, and GL Journal entries into the system. When typing in the entries, we will discuss if there is any transactions we are not so sure. We take turns to help to read the account number and amount to the typer, and check on whether the typer had type in the correct amount and entries.

We meet up on the following day, 12 June, to do the batches for invoices , purchases, sales and purchases returns, cash receipts and payments.

During these 3 days, when I help the other groups with their project, I found some mistakes with my own group project, and the mistakes are amended.

Throughout the weekend, 13 and 14 June, I tried to do the entries for balance day adjustments and recurring entries.

We meet up again on 16 June to complete the balance day adjustment and recurring entries. We discuss on the entries I tried during the weekend, and amended and added some entries. Therefore, we are almost done with the project during the term break :)

During the face-to-face tutorial on 26 June, we couldn't do the project, because our file was infected with virus.

On 1 July, we do the GL data entry form for opening balances, transactions and balance day adjustment and theory questions together. We separated the jobs equally.

Then, on 15 July, we re-checked through everything once more, and posted everything in sequence. We saved all the reports and printed it for the submission. Thanks for other groups help, we go on quite smoothly :)

We finalized everything on the day of submission, 17 July, filing everything into a file, and we are done with the project :)
