Situation
When I was working with Scottish Government Corporate Finance Directorate through contract in May 2022, I assisted in the preparation of schedules for consolidation of annual accounts, reviewed returns from all directorates and agencies.
Task
I had to prepare certain schedules for Scottish Government Core and Consolidation of all directorates including certain agencies for the Annual Accounts. I had to read and understand the guidelines and compare the previous year’s Annual Accounts.
                      
Action
I made myself aware of the concepts and queried the discrepancies and ensured the funds are accounted for appropriately. I took extra time to understand the previous years’ working files, listed any doubts on guidelines to get it clarified from my line manager. I took clear notes on how to download reports from SEAS, and how to get the tasks done wherever possible to prepare schedules accurately.
 
Result
I could assist in the preparation of most of the schedules for Annual Accounts and update the notes to accounts with minimal support from my line manager.
Reflection
Assisting in Annual Accounts Consolidation boosted my confidence, and I could crossover the similar techniques for various ad hoc reports and reconciliations.
