LEARNING OUTCOME
Industrial training has provided life-changing experience for students. It gives satisfaction for
students to expand their knowledge through research, observation and development by
demonstrating the methods of classification, standards and computational procedures in regards
of all accounting transactions. Students are bound to learn better when the classes in sessions are
interactive and direct. It will help them to develop advanced skills in the particular field.
Moreover, industrial training produces a newly improved student that would master in their own
specialized field. This is because it will develop significant commitment in the students’
profession/career. Not only that, while undergoing the training, students are exposed to new and
improved automations, thus, will keep them updated with all the latest changes in technological
world.
With industrial training programme, students were introduced to both worlds which merge
between studying and working all while being a student of the institution. They are institutional
students who will experience working environment of the profession that is aligned to their
course of study before pursuing professionally. This will not only help them gain new
experience, students will also be able to integrate classroom theory with workplace practice.
Once they have been accepted to work for the company under the applied position, students are
able to identify, formulate and model problems and find solution based on a system approach as
they were exposed to it during industrial training period. On top of that, they will be aware of the
professional environment and responsibility as an accountant that is required to provide a white-
glove services. Hence, being a student while going on industrial training that is aligned to your
field of study is equivalent to killing two birds with one stone as it develops greater clarity about
academic and career goals as well as lifelong learning skills.
vii
At the chosen company by the student to undergo their industrial training, students will gain
understanding of administrative procedures and company’s traditions/culture. In the period of 20
weeks, students will be able to have a decent and professional communication with the staff
member of the company. They are most likely to develop the ability to communicate efficiently.
With the guidance of the supervisor and the diligent staffs of the chosen company, not to mention
the two-way communication between the staffs and the student, it will help the student to sharpen
their skills and gained more knowledge in said industry and would be highly productive by the
time the student is about to jump start their professional career. Students will have a sense of
appreciation to the ethical basis of professional practice in relevant industry. In addition,
industrial training programme will allow them to explore options in careers plans and goals as
well as enhance students’ capability and enthusiasm for self-improvement through continuous
professional development and life-long journey of learning towards their ambition to become a
professional in their field. It acts as a seed to the role of being an expert or manager/supervisor in
accounting industry.
Industrial training also teaches the student’s capability for critical reasoning and independent
learning as students will not be fed with knowledge but instead will be exposed to action-oriented
education. (i.e. how to solve technical issues in UBS Accounting Software, how to restore
previous year’s data of the client to prepare the financial statements.) They will not only be
equipped with knowledge from theoretical classes but a knack to be skillful accountant with great
software system knowledge, time management, leadership and teamwork skills. Moreover,
during the time back in institution, students were given a task to be completed as a group and
therefore they delegated the task and finished it by the time of the due date. However, industrial
training helps students make gradual transition from academia to career as they are exposed to
more the real working surroundings.
Finally, with the obligation for students to write formatted report reflecting the tasks and
activities while undergo industrial training. They are compelled to be able to accomplish a
complete report writing which will help them in putting together the experience in the period of
industrial training into written description. This will improve the students’ writing skills which
viii
may be lacking before entering industrial training as they are bound to do calculations more than
writing. Writing a report will also help them keep their memory intact and fresh of the procedures
and the guidance that were taught to them by the staffs as well as the task that they have
performed. This can be use as their enlightenment in the future once they start working.
Moreover, time management is also one of the benefits of report writing. Students will also learn
how to manage their time wisely; compartmentalize between completing their work and report
writing on time before submission date as well as taking a time to decompress before continuing
their work.
All the tasks and activities that was written in the journal while the memory is fresh will be
absorb into the report where students will clarify everything that they have learned from
experience.

CHAPTER 1 : INTRODUCTION
PKB students has to undergo a 20 weeks Industrial Training as part of the programme
of the graduation requirements which all must participate to accomplish a Diploma in
Accountancy. As for our June 2018 intake, the industrial training started from 28th of
February 2021 till 16th of July 2021. During the industrial training, students must
1
write down their daily activities in reflection journal. Students must write the report
during the period of the training progressively in order for them to be able to tune it in
once they complete industrial training.
The main goal of Industrial Training is to give the raw and authentic exposure of
workplace and improving their insight and ability from what they have gained during
their time in PKB. In addition, developing great characteristics of honesty,
responsibility, and self-assurance is also one of the main factors of the existence of
the programme. Every single moral value and great working practices shall be within
the students. Moreover, this also helps the students to be more meticulous when it
comes to recording accounting transactions to avoid from miscalculations and
possibly misinterpret the financial statements. In addition, it also cultivates teamwork
spirit and to build good relationship between students and employees.
Furthermore, it also provides students the opportunity to test their interest in their
field of study before making permanent commitments. This will help the student in
developing their true interest in choosing a career path. On a contrary, with the help
of the staff of the companies, student may develop skills in decision-making in terms
of classification of accounts as it can be onerous and confusing, however, with a
proper guidance, students may proceed classifications of accounts to preparing
2
financial statements with ease. Industry can influence the learning of undergraduates
to produce a potential workforce with the academic knowledge and flexibility they
will require; students can learn first-hand the type of demands which 3 will be made
on them when they enter the world of work and are hence batter prepared; academics
and industrialists can work together on projects of mutual interest and can pool their
expertise and experience to achieve the best results (Kemp and Foster, 1995).
PKB’s policies that required for students to undergo industrial training will
improve student’s experience with the working world and helps them to reflect
helpfully in issues identified with work which can lead them to see how to channel
the experience into their personal or career and also future development. This policy
will create employability, scholarly skill, increasing in teamwork spirit, and
information about how associations’ flow. Industrial training programme can help in
exposing students to the basic incorporation of professional practice. Finally, the
programme develops proficient skills and reinforce the utilization of theory to apply.

1.3 Objectives of Report Writing
The purpose of the report as a part of the requirement is to enhance the student’s
writing skills in terms of writing down important tasks given daily, knowledge would be
gained during the process as well as responsibilities in terms of performing the given
tasks. It helps students to comprehend each and every one of the objectives of the given
task as it enables the student to go further beyond their unknown capability and may show
this newly and improved trait when going on presentation that will be conducted after the
end of the 20th week by PKB by leveraging the gained experience.
The students can also use the report as future reference once entered working
environment. It can act as guidance for the students after completing their studies using
the documentations as well as the activities written for the benefit of their own when
working on their selected careers.
Furthermore, the report will remind the students of their accomplishment, strong will,
as well as feature skilled especially in teamwork communication throughout their
internship. In addition, the report may also remind them the hands-on experience that was
given by the staff of the company of their choosing for the use of their own once they
started their careers. The knowledge and experience related to the company during the
training will not be wasted and be conclude in one documentation.
Reports are essential especially in university and college. Generally, report writing
helps in various of ways as a recorded documentation where it functions as a path to solve
problems also as future references for the benefit of upcoming projects, or, in this case;
4
careers. It also acts as guidance for readers to understand fully of the author’s clarification
of work done while undergoing industrial training.
In this era, report writing helps large institutions such as PKB itself to make an
evaluation on students while they undergo their industrial training at selected companies.
It is barely possible for institutions to keep track of each and every on of its students.
Therefore, this is the most suitable way to go through student’s activities and their
completed tasks at their working place. Moreover, institutions will form a better
connection with other corporations as this enable them to learn more about the student’s
selected company. It may benefit for the purpose of future businesses between the
company and the institution.
Students will make the most out of report writing as they can broaden their knowledge
and enhance their skills in recording transactions, being meticulous in checking relevant
documents and the importance of teamwork discussion. Furthermore, the written report
will clarify more regarding the 20 weeks period of the activities written in the journal.

CHAPTER 4 : UBS ACCOUNTING SYSTEM SOFTWARE
4.0 Introduction
Zulkepli & Co invested in UBS Accounting System Software for their organization as
the firm is carried out work on auditing, accounting and taxation. They have been making
such investment since the year of 2000. The latest IT investment that was made by
Zulkepli & Co is also SQL.
UBS System on of the application in AIS system that collects and stores accounting
data, afterwards, the data will be processed into a useful information for the use of
internal and external users. The information produced by UBS can help decision maker in
managing their business more efficiently and strategically. A great benefit from
computerized accounting information system, is that they can automatically make
financial reporting easier, accurate and summarized. Moreover, timely information is a
major tool for the firm as well as the staff were needed to finish financial reporting in time
for the client to evaluate their company results and make decisions in order to improve
their financial performance and ensuring the path to meet their strategic goals.
38
4.1 Equipment/Specifications Used
In this matter, student was required to use a specification in carrying out their work in
financial reporting. As it was mentioned before, student was required to key in data of the
client that was assigned to them into an accounting software. In order to implement the
work, they need to use a specific tool to complete the task which is UBS Accounting
System.
Moreover, right before the student start up the software, they needed to check upon the
relevant documents to determine whether there are any insufficient documents, if so, they
were required to refer to the supervisor regarding the issue occurred and the said client
would be in contact regarding the insufficient document. Furthermore, when about to
begin their task, the student was required to use a smartlock to log in to UBS.
39
4.2 Methods on carrying out task
In order to carry out the given task, UBS Accounting System was in fact in need of a
vessel to complete the task. Therefore, the method to perform the given duty is to use the
computer.
Since the lockdown, the student was required to take the documents home and use their
own home computer to finish the task. However, the compartment that was specifically
for smartlocks uses is not available therefore, the student was in need of proceeding the
task without the use of smartlock. When reporting the financial data into UBS Accounting
System, the timely information which are the dates are not as accurate as the information
in the documents. However, they can save the data into an external device such as the pen
drive and restore the data by the time they travel to the office and proceed their work, with
the use of smart lock, as per usual.
Unfortunately, the office hasn’t been fully operating therefore the student still required
to work from home and proceed work as usual since the first day of lockdown, without
the use of smartlock and be needing to pass down the work in editing the dates and
transactions at the office to the staffs.
40
Figure 4.3 Student’s home computer
The first step in using the UBS Accounting System when assigned to a new client is
that the student was required to check the relevant documents such as:
41
When the relevant documents are sufficient, the student is required to search for the
client’s previous year’s data in the saved file from the company’s email and restore the
previous data into UBS Accounting System.
After adding the company’s name, the student is required to restore the previous year’s
data.
42
Afterwards, the student is needed to click Periodic and click in Year End Processing.
This will automatically process the past year’s sales, purchases, profit and closing stock
into the current year’s data so it would be easier for the student to compare the last year’s
transactions and use it as a reference on current year’s financial reporting.
Then, the student is required to click on Housekeeping, and went to Run Setup to
change the year aligned to the year of required to financial reporting i.e. Kadir Tyre
Centre 2019 (previous year’s data) → Kadir Tyre Centre 2020 (the year of financial
statement preparation.)
After all the process of restoring of previous year’s data completed, the student can
proceed the work into reporting the financial data into UBS Accounting System Software
as usual from the relevant documents that was check upon before start up until finishing
up to Bank Reconciliation.

CHAPTER 5 : DOCUMENTS MANAGEMENT
During all the 20 weeks of training, the staff diligently gave the guidance on how to
organize the client’s documents when it was recently arrived into the office. When the
documents were brought up into the office straight to the accounting department, the
student was required to report the documents received using the document received chart
that was set by the firm.
Once the student checked the documents received, they were needed to hand the report
over to the supervisor to get it check and to determine whether there’s any errors in
reporting as well. Moreover, the students may keep the record into a file specifically for
received documents and proceed their work into restoring the data. (refer to chapter 4.4)

CHAPTER 6 : COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS
6.0 Comments
However, there are a few challenges and limitations that were faced during the training
period. Therefore, here are the listed few comments that diverted the attention. This
statement is not meant to act as a criticism or to degrade any parties as it is solely an
observation during the training programme. Thus, the comment is meant for the firm and
Polytechnic’s use to improve their qualify of aspects. The views on the platform are as
follows:
48
1) During the training period, there is no connection between the firm and
Polytechnic. The institution made no contact with the firm as its main focus is
particularly on the students who are currently undergoing industrial training.
2) Since the firm’s main focus is to be one of the top professional service firm in
Malaysia, it lacks the technology advances as the firm haven’t upgraded the from
Windows XP and Windows 7 to the newest ones.
3) The differences that exist between the firm’s task and the student’s field of study
has somehow affected in acquiring knowledge during the training period as the
student was focusing solely only on accounting and slightly on auditing but was
never exposed to taxation.
6.1 Suggestions
There are few suggestions that was made to help both Polytechnic and Zulkepli & Co
to enhance their growth as an institution and professional services firm respectively.
49
CHAPTER 7 : CONCLUSION
Industrial training obviously benefits all parties in developing a better quality of aspect
as a person, institution, corporation, and nation as a whole. It acts as a platform of
improvement.
While undergoing the training, there were a lot experience and knowledge gained that
could come in beneficial in the mere future. The experience taught students how to be
independent and boost their self-confidence to face working environment. Theoretical
knowledge in classes are put into use in the activities and tasks done which by all means
that everything learned through 3 years of Polytechnic did not go to waste as it is being
recycled in the working world. Furthermore, students are exposed to their course in the
profession which will keep them prepared for the life after being awarded with Diploma
from Polytechnic. This will help them to broaden their skills and creativity while seizing
profession ethical values as basis to venture into professional career in the future.
Moreover, report writing students are required to fulfil while undergoing industrial
training can train them in preparing technical report as a part of a task on a daily basis
50
when working professionally. On the contrary, the company will also benefit from
industrial training as well. They will be able to identify their future employee that they are
already familiar with by then. They won’t go through all the hustle to train new recruits
and expenses on putting up advertisement for job vacancies as well. Students involvement
in the training as well as their personal improvement and development can be achieved
with the help of every party involved.
Clearly, industrial training has shown various advantages that impacts all parties. Thus,
industrial training programme shall remain compulsory as one of the requirements for
students before being awarded with Diploma. In order for this training to be success,
students and Polytechnic must play their roles and maintain an association that ties
Polytechnic and the firm together. All of the above fits the objectives which is to produce
prepared graduates who are well equipped and ready to face the professional working and
career opportunities.
