Introduction - Who am I

 

My name is Katie Sutton, I am 22 years old, I live on my family farm in county Wexford, I am the eldest child in my family, I am currently in SETU Waterford studying bachelor of business with accountancy, I chose the general business stream as I wasn’t sure if accounting was definitely the course I wanted to do, with the general business course that I chose you start with general business, then get to choose the stream preferred, there is then an option available in 3^rd year where we can undertake placement, or do an Erasmus which allows us to clarify that we have chosen the correct stream

 

I undertook my work placement in my local Ifac accountant office in Enniscorthy, this was a great opportunity for me to get to see what a working day is like within an office I worked their Monday to Friday 9 to 5. From completely placement I discovered accountancy is the correct stream for me.

 

An information system I used while my time in Ifac was a system created by Ifac called CMS this system is used daily within the office, one main thing we use this system is to create our Timesheets at the end of the day, this is where we fill out the client we worked on and what hours and work was carried out on that particular client allowing for an accurate billing process for the client.

Another system that I used during my time in Ifac was autorec this is a system used to speed up the process of manually inputting the bank statement information into the IRS  (information recording system) which is also created by Ifac.  The autorec system involved scanning the bank statements and their information then getting transferred into the system ready to analysis
