II – Plan of internship program As an enthusiast of Japanese culture and an accounting student, I chose a company specializing in construction and Japanese garden design to participate in the internship. After researching the market and applying, I was fortunate to be accepted into JP Park Group company. My internship prolonged for about six months from January 2021 to June 2021. In my internship tenure I have performed different works there. I have tried my best to enhance my ability and apply the knowledge that I gained during studies. When I start my Internship session it was the peak season for PKF firm, because it was the fiscal financial year ending of most companies that were client of PKF. On my first day at firm, Mr. Hiep gave me training session about the Vietnamese legal documents system which include Decree 132/ND-CP prescribing tax administration for enterprises having related-party transactions specifically, about deductible and non-deductible of affiliate companies and some of substantial circular such as Circular 200/2014/TT-BTC guiding the corporate accounting system, Circular 78/2014/TT-BTC guiding the corporate income tax, Circular 219/2013/TT-BTC guiding the value added tax, Circular 48/2019/TT-BTC providing guidance on making and settlement of provisions for devaluation of inventory, losses of financial investments, bad debts and warranty at enterprises, etc. From there he instructed applying these circulars into real case of each client. On the next day, we were trained by Mr. Ngai on how to examine physically the cash, fixed assets and inventories on the last day of fiscal year. Through the training session, he shared his practical experience with us and gave us some techniques of this process. He also guided us developing relations with customers, and facing them in all this audit period. During the period of my internship, I preformed the different tasks in different areas of the PKF Co. which are the following: 1. The audit process; 2. The audited reports and; 3. The preparation of the audited financial statements.

III – Major Assignments I started my internship as junior trainee. My three months training enabled me learn a lot about accounting, taxation, auditing, management consultancy and corporate affairs. Although three 7

months is very short period to learn everything and to get perfect in the art of accounting and auditing, working at PKF Co. gave me a golden opportunity to learn some valuable things not only about auditing and accounting but also about Corporate Law and Income Tax. My work at the firm made my concepts of accounting and auditing very clear. The guidance of my colleagues and working papers system of the firm was very helpful and they provided all necessary information to me. During my internship, I have to follow steps which were directed to me from my supervisor.
