3 You are in the final year of your Accounting studies. You have always been aiming to be an Accountant. During the summer vacation, you took up an internship with a small privately owned Accounting firm. The internship instils the necessary knowledge and skills required to be a qualified Accountant. You enjoy working for the firm and your employer has indicated that there could be an opportunity for you to be employed as a permanent staff upon graduation. A Senior Accountant, acting as your supervisor and mentor, has been on sick leave for some time, and you are tasked to complete some complicated reconciliation work. You feel that you are not sufficiently experienced to complete the work alone but it appears that everyone in the firm is busy with their respective duties since it is a peak period. You also know that it is important to complete the task well in order to impress your employer, and leave options open for that permanent position upon graduation.
