1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 What is an internship?
An internships provide an opportunity for students to apply what they have learned in
institutions to practical work experiences related to their academic or career goals, in other
words it is an opportunity offered by an employer to interns, to work at a firm for a fixed
period of time. Interns are usually undergraduates or students, and most internships last
between a month and three months. It is usually part time if offered during a university
semester and full time if offered during the vacation periods. An internship would give you
practical skills, workplace experience and greater knowledge of that industry, in exchange for
employer benefiting from your labor. An internship can be either paid or voluntary. The trend
is increasingly (and rightly) towards the former, as voluntary internships are often cited as
exploitative. As you would expect, internships that pay well are usually the most competitive.

2.5 ON THE JOB LEARNINGS
Networking
During my internship, the organization working environment was very favorable where
communicating and asking for clarification was easy. Most of employees where nepali so
communicating with them was easy and made learning process a fun. Few times, I even got
chance to go for auditing which gave chance to know more about the corporate circle
What was learned?
I learned how to communicate and build relationships with the people I worked with. I
learned how to introduce myself, talk about my interests, knowledge and skills with
entrepreneurs and business owners, as well as how to ask questions and gain a better
understanding of businesses not only in the co-working space, but also others in the market.
This process overall helped me develop my professional network and emphasized the
importance of creating these connections.
Tally entries
Tally is an ERP accounting software package used for recording day to day business data. It
helps in maintaining financial records of the company that includes all receipts and payments
along with taxes and deductions. At first, we were briefed regarding how to use tally and
enter the data on it for few days. Later they provided us with raw data and punch data in tally.
What was learned?
Since tally is one of important software in business world. And getting the opportunity to
learn regarding that would help me boost my career in future.
Through this, I learned regarding segmentation of data’s into different heads. It also helped
me knowing many technical aspects of MS excel and also improved typing speed with more
precision.

Following the organization culture
Every organization despite their size has its own culture. It’s essential to observe others and
learn how they engage and interact with co-workers, or help them with projects and task.
What was learned?
During my internship in that organization, I was able to adopt quite well in their working
environment as employees were kind and helpful. It also helps me know how the
organization culture actually feels like. A simple example can be a bio matric for attendance,
which aid me in knowing the value of time.
Keeping a journal
During my internship, I had a journal and took notes every day about new things I learned,
feedback I was given by CA, strength and weakness I noticed, and things I wanted to research
and learn more about.
What was learned?
Keeping journals helped me understand myself more and identify the areas that I needed to
improve in.
Communication skills
Communication is the key to success in a professional environment.
What was learned
I learned that it’s important to communicate with CA or other employee via phone or email or
SMS if I have questions or if I don’t know how to work on a task. Asking for help and
clarification is better than pretending to be understood. As an intern, good communication
will help with productivity, efficiency, engagement and growth.

2.6 ASSIGN TASK AND ACHIEVEMENTS
Process involved accomplishing the assigned task in internship.
GST filings
At first we were briefed regarding taxation. Then provided us with different taxation
norms and tax slabs.
Later they instructed us in preparing ITR’s statements of clients in excel sheet as per
the specified format.
Before entering data into income tax site, we also prepared offline for cross checking
and to avoid errors.
Vouching
During the internship term, we visited few firms wherein we did vouching before the audit.
In vouching, we had to cross check the company receipts and payment alongside with
the company’s cash book.
Tally entries
Most of utilizes TALLY ERP 9 for recording all their financial transactions as it is more
accurate and there is low risk of data loss. So it’s kind of required skills for employee to have
knowledge regarding tally. As for interns like us, who will be doing work for short period,
it’s kind of difficult to fully understanding of tally. Yet there are following process to be
followed to accomplish the task.
Firstly, we carefully review all records of vouchers and arrange into different heads
like purchase, sales and so on
Then we create a company in Tally software by that company name and started
entering data’s.
After completing entries posting, then we rechecked the data by Balance sheet, Trial
balance and Day book.
In case of difficulties during the task, we immediately contacted our mentors in the
firm.

3.0 CONCLUSION
The internship report is prepared to explain the different tasks performed during the time such
as vouching, data entry in tally, TDS returns, GST filings and returns. Though all this jobs are
challenging and need more focus and concentration to perform. And activities like vouching
and tally are very useful and will add more value towards the person’s performance and
resume in future. Yet, all this required more practice, which cannot be accomplished in a
short time period.
Furthermore, GAB & ASSOCIATE team were very helpful and ready to assist us in our
learning’s. Despite, the firm being small with fewer members there was good cooperation
among them. However for better operations and growth firm need to opt for better technology
and need to have more training programs.
All this are the crucial findings through in-depth study of the different operations of the firm.
