INTRODUCTION.
1.0 Introduction.

This chapter presents background of the field attached to and department worked in,
activities, tasks performed, background of the organization, knowledge, skills, experience
gained, lessons, challenges and limitations, enjoyments, disappointments, conclusion and
recommendations, text citation, references and finally appendices.

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE FIELD ATTACHMENT, OBJECTIVES AND

BENEFITS.
Accounting history can be traced back thousands of years to the cradle of civilization in
Mesopotamia and is said to have developed alongside writing, counting and money. The early
Egyptians and Babylonians created auditing systems, while the Romans collated detailed
financial information.
Some of the first accountants were employed around 300BC in Iran where tokens and
bookkeeping scripts were discovered around the first millennium the Phoenician invented an
alphabetic system for bookkeeping while the ancient Egyptians May have even assigned
someone the role comptroller.
Italian roots.
But the father modern accounting is Italian Luca Pacoli, who in 1494 first described the system
of double entry bookkeeping used by venetian merchants in his summa de Arithmetic Geometria,
proportioni etc. proportionalita while he was not the inventor of accounting, Pacoli was the first
to describe the system of debit and credit journals and ledgers that is still the basis of today’s
accounting system.

With the onset of the industrial revolution in 1760, there was proliferation of companies and the
need of more advanced accounting systems. The development of corporations also created large
groups of investors, and more complex structures of ownership all requiring accounting systems
to adapt.
Scotland modernizes accounting.
The modern professional also has its roots in Scotland in the mid-1800s when the institute of
accountants in Glasgow petitioned queen Victoria for a royal charter, so accountants and could
distinguish themselves from solicitors which would offer accounting in addition to firm’s legal
services.
In 1854 the institute adapted chartered accountant, for its members, a term and Demarcation that
still carries legal weight globally today.
The petition was signed by 49 Glaswegian accountants, and it argued that the accounting
professional had long existed in Scotland as a distinct profession of great responsibility and that
the small number of petitioners had been rapidly increasing. The petition further highlighted the
varied skills required to be a professional accountant.in addition to mathematics skills, an

1
accountant needed to be acquainted with general legal principles, as they were often employed
by the courts to give evidence on financial matters as they still are today.
Industrial revolution:
By the mid -1800s, the industrial revolution in Britain was well underway and London was the
financial center of the world.
With growth of the limited liability company and large scale manufacturing and logistics,
demand surged for more technically proficient accountants capable of handling the growingly
complex world of global transactions.
The increasing importance of accountants helped to transform accounting into a profession, first
in the UK and then in the US.in 1904 eight people formed the London Association of
Accountants to open the profession to a wider audience of people than was available through
UK’s older associations. After several name changes the London Association of Accountants
adopted the name the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA)in 1996.

CHAPTER TWO:

ACTIVITIES PERFORMED DURING FIELD ATTACHMENT.

2.1 Introduction:
This section covers all the activities undertaken during field attachment, well explained.
(1) Posting revenue ledgers:
When posting revenue ledgers, we use the revenue abstract where we trace revenue received in
financial year starting from the month of July to December 31st
(2) Posting the vote book:
When posting the vote book, we use the approved budget for financial year E.g. (for
example).2020/2023.
(3) Updating the expenditure Abstract.
We update the expenditure Abstract using the vote book and the payment vouchers or financial
statements.
And we can also update the expenditure Abstract using payment vouchers and requisition forms.
Whereby we enter month of expenditure, department where the money was spent, Date and
month of the year and station.
(4) Updating the revenue register.
We update the revenue register using the revenue abstract details whereby we record the revenue
that the organization received starting from the month of July 1st -31st December.
(5) Making financial statements.
When making financial statements we use financial year budget that is to say from July to
December.
Tips on how to make financial statements.
 We first of put the code of the item which Is got from the chart of accounts.
 Put the revenue source
 We also use revised and approved budget.
 We also get the cumulative received whereby we add every amount received in each month of
the financial year to get the cumulative.
 We also use the revised budget or approved budget to get the variance over/under. That is to
say the variance is the difference between the revised budget and the cumulative.
(6) Posting payment vouchers to the expenditure Abstract.
We post payment vouchers to the expenditure Abstract using payment voucher details and
requisition form.
Steps taken to post payment vouchers to the expenditure Abstract.
 Put the month of expenditure, department under which the money was spent, put
programme, date and year.
 Then put the station where payment was made to.

8
Put the item for which the money was paid for and its code just below the item. Note we get
codes from chart of accounts.
 Put the receipt number under receipt number column
 Put the amount which was paid in the Shs column
 Lastly put the total at the bottom column of Shs.
(7) Enumeration and assessment:
When doing enumeration and assessment, we move to the field where by we count and asses
every business unit. We look at nature and kind of business then we give you the amount you are
supposed to pay once a year.
We asses every business unit except government institutions and health facilities like clinics,
pharmacy, hospitals and drug shops which are tax exempt.
(8) Revenue mobilization and collection.
After revenue assessment, we then carry out Revenue mobilization and collection. Where by it
involves moving around the centers and towns to collect revenue, E.g. we issue out receipts to
whoever pays and it’s called business license.
(9) Writing or payment vouchers.
A payment voucher is written after the requisition form submitted to finance officer or an
accountant requesting for payment. And it must be approved and signed by the executive officer
or CFO.
(10) Writing of minutes.
These are just notes that are recorded during a meeting. They highlight the key issues that are
discussed, motion proposed or voted on and activities to be undertaken.
The minutes of a meeting are usually taken by a designated member of the group. Their task is to
provide an accurate record of what transpired during the meeting.

CHAPTER THREE:

LESSONS, EXPERIENCE AND SKILLS GAINED.

3.0 Introduction.
This section covers lessons, experience and skills gained during field attachment.
(3.1) LESSONS:
 Accounting internships have value.
I honestly believe that you cannot know you love something until you are able to work in it for a
period of time. I always knew that I wanted to become an expert in a niche of certain area of
specialization but had no idea what that pursuit that would be.
My field attachment has provided me with the opportunity to explore some of those specialties
and gain realistic experience of what would involve in day today life.
 Mentoring is amazing:
Throughout my internship, it amazed me how every professional at the organization is willing to
help me. Their own unending to do lists never seem to hinder their readiness to talk to me about
life, answer questions about projects, guide me through expectations, and give me mentoring and
career advice.
 Communication is key:
At the start of my field attachment, I was hesitant to talk to anyone, because I wanted to be
respectful of the little time. I think that was a mistake, I learnt that it is helpful to both parties to
discuss things consistently.
 Opportunities are endless.
Every week there seemed to be another charity or networking event, promotion or resignation,
new client or project all additional opportunities. There are so many ways accountants can affect
the world around them. Each of us has different destination and there for different journeys, I
believe I found the next step in mine through My internship.

3.2 Experience:
Interning at Busia District local government (BDLG) has given me an insightful firsthand look
into how the public accounting field works. I have gained many skills such as understanding how
to make and write financial statements also called reporting, utilizing New software and bettering
my business communication skills. Some of new program am now comfortable with are
Microsoft excel spreadsheet and other accounting soft wares.
Tasks that I learned on the job were documenting work papers, posting revenue ledgers using
revenue abstract, posting the vote book using approved and revised budget for financial years.
I had the ability to work alone and ask for assistance or guidance when needed, a level of
independence that I appreciated.

10
Leaving aside traditional accounting duties, I have also gained more experience in how to
communicate professionally. I strengthened My written, professional communication skills, such
being clear and concise when requesting specific work papers reports or other information. I
have been able to form genuine relationship with the people in the firm, I have flexibility in my
work-life balance, and gain exposure to the accounting profession.
I have also learned how to engage with the community for example during field attachment I
happened to reach out to the community around the organization I was working and had some
few issues we discussed with them. And mainly it was about sensitizing them to pay revenue.
Leaving that aside I also learnt how to do assessment and mobilize revenue amongst the business
men, sensitizing them that payment of revenue was not for my own good but for the good of the
community and business men themselves.
(3.4) SKILLS:
 Good communication skills.
Communication is one of the most important skills that I gained during my field attachment
under the department of accounting. I learnt the skill of writing and speaking.
 IT proficiency:
Proficiency in IT is also a very important skill that I gained for example I got exposed to IT
equipment and software package commonly applied in accounting. Like excel. These software
packages are good as they can simplify work.
 Multitasking:
Multitasking is one of the skills I gained during field attachment as I gained the ability to do
various tasks at the same time which is important for success in the accounting career.
 Administrative skills:
As business administration student, administrative skill is one of the skill that I strived hard to
gain. For example, through this Skill one is able to ensure smooth running of the organization
and performance of the activities and appointments.
I was also able to gain the skill of how to conduct and hold an executive meeting as I personally
got involved in some of this meetings, whereby I also gained a Skill in writing minutes and
resolutions

11
CHAPTER FOUR:
CHALLENGES AND LIMITATIONS, ENJOYMENTS AND DISAPPOINTMENTS
4.0 Introduction:
This section presents challenges and limitation, enjoyments and disappointments encountered
during field attachment.

4.1 Challenges and limitation:

Some of the challenges encountered are;
(1) Lack of power at the station which hindered me some times to perform my tasks as
assigned to me. but later this issue was solved by installing power which was a great
achievement by the administration.
(2) There was also a challenge of lack morale among the staff members. This was due to lack
of motivation by government since it is a public organization, however this was solved by
at least giving them allowance which motivated them and at least improved their morale.
(3) There was a problem of little or no local revenue collection, which hindered the
development of the organization. However, this was solved by sensitizing people to pay
revenue and creating more revenue sources like local community markets around the
place.
(4) There was resistance amongst locals who resisted revenue collecting officers from
collecting revenue around Namutere stone quarry, something which hindered
development in the sub county but however this challenge was addressed by sub county
chief (SC), Sub County Accountant (SAA), Chairman LC3 and parish chief (PC) who got
involved in sensitizing the locals about the good of paying revenue and how it benefits
them.
(5) The organization has failed to motivate its workers. According to Abraham Maslow
humans are motivated by five essential needs: physiological, safety, social, self-esteem
and self-actualization (also known as self fulfilment). But during training, I noted that
money was key motivating factor.

4.2 Enjoyments:
(1). There was peace and relaxation around the organization since police station was within the
organization premises which ensured maximum security.

(2) The environment was conducive and friendly whereby we enjoyed the cool breeze from
BUSITEMA forest reserve since the organization is just next to it.

12
(3) I also enjoyed nature and wildlife since the sub county was near BUSITEMA forest reserve
which gave me the opportunity to have a look at wild animals like baboon and monkeys etc.
which are interesting kind of animals.
(4.3) Disappointments;
One of the biggest disappointments I registered was that there was no free internet at the
organization a thing which I had not thought of. This hindered me from searching for relevant
information from internet hence forcing me to touch on my pocket money to buy Data in order to
stay online.

13
CHAPTER FIVE

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION:

5.0 Introduction:
This section covers conclusion and recommendations
5.1 Recommendations.
1) The organization should consider facilitating students on internship with transport means,
stationary, meals and refreshments while in the field.
2) Enforcement to recover local revenue from the business men and other commercial sites
like stone quarry in Namutere should be handled with an iron hand like engaging in law
enforcement officers in this Way the organization will get rid of revenue defaulters.
3) The organization should consider acquiring enough computers to enable students acquire
IT skills so that they can be able to compete internationally.
4) The organization should consider setting up the organizational internet that is to say Wi-Fi
to enable internees to search relevant information on the net.
5) Local revenue Base is very small, there for the internee suggests that revenue sensitization
and mobilization should be put in practice in order to widen the revenue Base.
6) The organization should also consider motivation of its workers in order to boost their
morale of working.

5.2 CONCLUSION.
Local Governments are a product of decentralization policy that was put into consideration by
the 1995constitution article 176 and actualized by the LGA CAP 243 the government of the
establishment of the LGS was to extend services nearer to the people and indeed during the
internship, the internee witnessed the great role the LG Played in providing social services such
as health services, education, water, infrastructural development among others.
The organization was suitable for internship attachment because it has trained and equipped
personnel, additionally they are so interactive and willing to be consulted.
Despite good achievements the LG had specific challenges such as limited transport means for
the staff, delayed salary and wages, high demand for services Visa -vi the limited resources
among other challenges. There for the internee recommends that government considers timely
release of funds, procure transport means for its workers increase funds for the Sub County to
enable them deliver their mandate effectively.
