NATURE OF WORK



For me, naturally work environment has a big impacton the overall performance of a person. In MGB:The workplace is air-conditioned. It is a bit tight but due to its light green-colored wall

it is refreshing to stay. They also have their own kitchen where refrigerator

and a dining table can be found. The people are easy to get along with since some of

them are familiar in my town and actually some ofthem stayed there for years.Most of the time, computers are available as well as

supplies and other materials needed for work.

IV. NON-ACCOUNTING COMPETENCIES



V. HOW DO YOU ASSESS YOUR EDUCATIONAL PREPARATION VIS-À-VIS THE TASKS ASSIGNED TO YOU IN YOUR OJT?

Since MGB is a government agency, basically theyare using the Government Accounting System so Ididn’t encounter any difficulty in general.

My educational preparation is not enough becausethere is that difference in terms of actual work.There are some factors that needed to beconsidered and learned through experience in theworkplace compared to schooling.



Yes but 200 hours of OJT is not sufficient and it is

not right to conclude that the experiences gainedfrom the internship will ensure the utmostpreparation needed.

Experience gained is not enough because mainlythe agency where we were assigned is focused onGovernment Accounting only.

Overall, the internship had given me theperspective on how government works and the roleof accounting in the government.

VI. DID THE OJT PROVIDE YOU WITH THE “INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE” NEEDED?

FOR WORK AS A FUTURE ACCOUNTANT?

Knowledge and skills in terms of oral and written

communication. Exposure and usage in various accounting

softwares popularly used in accounting world.



VIII. RECOMMENDATION IN IMPROVING THE OJTPROGRAM? ACCOUNTANCY IN GENERAL?

I believed it is better for the OJT Program to assignthe OJT students in private companies rather thanin government agencies for the following reason:

Better application of the concepts and principles ofaccounting.

o It is better if all minors subjects would be taken up in theearly years.
