CAS Reflection by Chua Zong You
1st July to 14th July – Throughout this month, we worked on the taxing CAS ACCPAC project. We encountered many problems, with AR and AP especially. Also we had to re-do some of the entries like the recurring entries and the GST portion. Personally, I felt that re-doing the journal entries was the most frustrating part, as we invested many precious hours on it. Moreover, it didn’t help that the labs were not available for use all the time. All the boring hours of waiting just to get a small portion of our project done really irked us, but nevertheless we persisted. Thank god for the cheerful course mates in lab 8 and 9 and of course my lovely team mates that kept our team going. I think I am very fortunate to have them because Even though I couldn’t make it for some of the meetings, they understood and continued on with the project.
15th July – Today basically all we did was the ever-taxing theory portion of our project! We splitted the work. Yi ying and I tackled the 2nd part of the theory questions while Hui Shan, Stephanie and jasmine took the 1st. After many hours of research and hardwork, we finally completed it! All it needs now is a little bit of touch up, which hopefully can be done tomorrow =) I think it was a productive day for our team and I think they have done an awesome job! Go go go ! We’re almost reaching the end!
16th July – The last day before submission! This is the day where the entire cohort starts running around frantically and printing all their journal entries. It never pays to be last minute, but hey, we’re all human and it’s in our perfect nature to procrastinate. Last minute phone calls were made amongst course mates regarding the final value of their balance sheet, and desperate ones even resorted to rushing through their final bit of their project just to get it over and done with.
As for my team, I think overall this project has been an eye-opening experience. Never have we put in so much blood, tears and sweat into a single solitary project ever. I can vividly recall the moments where we had to re-do our recurring entries, adjust the GST, and were even shown the blue screen! Boy are we elated that it’s all over now, and all that’s left to do is wait for the verdict – our project results. It’s vital that we get as high marks as possible to pull our overall CAS grade. Not to mention, there’s a killer CAS ACCPAC practical test coming this 25th July.
I would like to thank my team members for everything they have done for the team. We all knew it was a job that no one can accomplish alone, but thanks to all our hard work and effort, we overcame the project. This project has brought our team closer and it has taught us how to accommodate to each other’s needs. I would also like to thank Ms June Yeo for all your guidance along the way, not to mention all the patience you have given to us. Thank you!
