Internship is the process of on-the-job training, which particularly beneficial for students with
major in technological courses.

diplomats program.
SLIATE always emphasize on industry orientation in academic study. For these purpose industry

CHAPTER – 02 ACADEMIC’S PROFILE
2.1 About SLIATE
As per the recommendations of the Committee appointed by Prof. Wiswa Waranapala, Deputy
Minister of Higher Education in 1994, the Sri Lanka Institute of Advanced Technical Education
(SLIATE) was formed in 1995, under the Sri Lanka Institute of Advanced Technical Education
Act No. 29 of 1995, In 2001 the name of the institution was amended to read as Sri Lanka Institute
of Advanced Technological Education, (SLIATE). It functions as an autonomous Institute for the
management of Higher National and National Diploma courses. The main purposes of establishing
SLIATE were to reform and restructure the entire technical and vocational education system in
relation to the changing needs of economic development, to meet manpower requirements of
national development strategies, and the promotion of privatization, with special concern for
meeting the scarcity of trained technological manpower resources at the technician level.
The SLIATE is a statutory body operating under the purview of Ministry of Higher Education and
is one of the leading higher educational institutions in Sri Lanka.
SLIATE has been focusing on fostering Advanced Technical Education at a post-secondary level.
It is mandated to establish Advanced Technological Institute (ATI) in every province for
technological courses. At present it manages and supervises Twelve Advanced Technological
Institutes and Six Sections. SLIATE is headed by a Director General while each of its institutes is
headed by a Director. All academic sections of SLIATE and its institutions are headed by

The HNDA programme is the first professional accounting course introduced in Sri Lanka. It was
started in 1943 as the National Diploma in Accountancy with the aim of detecting and preventing
frauds, errors and malpractices in Ceylon Tea Estates and Ceylon Railway. Then, it was converted
to a Higher National Diploma in Accountancy (HNDA) in 1946. The HNDA programme is the
first professional accounting course introduced in Sri Lanka. It has been gaining popularity over
the time and in 1963, an evening course was also introduced in order to meet the market demand.
The HNDA was considered as an alternative to a B.Com degree offered by a Sri Lankan university
by the Public Administration Circular No.46/90 of 1990. The mandate for auditing enterprises
excluding public sector organizations as certified auditors was granted to the HNDA holders in
1968. From 2001, HNDA programme is conducted by the Sri Lanka Institute of Advanced
Technological Education (SLIATE) at the Advanced Technological Institute (ATIs).

brief introduction about this Finance & Budget section and give me chance to work on accounts.
He first manually and then on a software made a sample entry for me to properly understand the
process and then give me a chance to enter lot of different entries. Under this finance & budget,
worked 3 book keepers, record keeper & senior staff assistant
According to the office rules and regulations I have proceed like a regular employee. That’s why
I had to serve from 08:30am to 04:15pm. After entering into the office I would sign attendance
sheet like other officials, and then sit on assigned section and there was specific desk for me.
Within office hour every employees of relevant section guided me in order for better improvement.
As an internee I also had some certain responsibilities and duties that had to perform very sincerely.
Since initially I was in financial department there I had to work as an assistant of different
employee who was working on that relevant department During internship period I have learned lots
of things. I have got to know how office system are working and got some good experience in society.
Here I classified my tasks into three categories like book & budget, bills payable & bank section.

 Collection of accounts from different sections
 Preparation of trial balance and final accounts
 Co-ordination with auditors
 Helping statutory auditor
 Observe the trail balance and observe the implementation of Sri Lanka Accounting
Standards (SLAS)
 Uses of Formulae in Making P&L statement and Balance Sheet.
 Whole accounting procedure starts from by making entries and its effects goes on trial
balance, P&L and on Balance Sheet

23. 15 | P a g e
b) Bills Payable
In this Part, I have worked under the supervision of Mr. K. Kishnathas & Mr. S. Prashanth. In this
section we mostly do:
 Record payment vouchers in DB.
 Prepare monthly expenditure report.
 Prepare VAT report.
 Maintain expenditure control.
This section handles the payment to be made to the suppliers. This includes the receiving of stores
receipt vouchers, purchase order and their verification in terms of quality and quantity.
Once the claims are found satisfactory, the payment is made as per the terms.
c) Bank Section
On my 4th
month of training I was sent to cash and bank section report to Mrs. D. Sinthuja. I also
inquired regarding the necessary course of action by the organization in the event of any
discrepancy between the balance as per company’s books and the bank statement. I identify the
causes of the variance and prepared the account. I faced a challenge, that the huge amount of
refundable deposit are presented under non-current liability and it show the Unpresented under the
reconciliation of the financial statements of the university.
d) Votes & ledgers
In this Part, I have worked under the supervision of Mrs. T. Malini. She deals with day to day cash
book writing, cheque printing & etc. The six bank accounts use for transaction of EUSL. The use
of each accounts transaction was differently.
I am thankful to Sir Mr. K. A. H. K. Jayarathna & staff that he shared knowledge and makes me
understand about each and everything about EUSL. Thank you so much Sir for giving me such
great time.
3.11 Challenges
First challenge I faced was language when speak with my internship supervisor, was the major
challenge for me at the beginning.
Handling the various kind of suppliers who are different in age and gender, some suppliers never
try to understand the situation and the always put pressure on us.

24. 16 | P a g e
Working with experienced people, made me feel uncomfortable sometimes because of their
working speed is too high.
Newly professional environment
Manage supervisor & staff
3.12 Limitation
Not enough the computers
Delay for get their official needs
Cannot learn more details about other departments.
Not enough space in the finance office. It was very close.
3.13 Recommendations
Specific tasks should be assign to internees & all the duties & responsibility of each employee
should be clear
Should introduce & Try to more use of latest accounting package in to the work, so that the
employees can do their work active mindedly.
Give a chance for participate the seminars to the trainees.
3.14 Self-Evaluation
I would like to evaluate myself under two topics namely expectation and reality.
Firstly, I had little bit nerves and hesitation as I did not know anything about the EUSL and staffs.
I expect that would be difficult manage six months at EUSL as it is a beginning and only one
University in Batticaloa. But it’s not took a long time to adopt to the organizations environment as
the staffs are too friendly and well communicative.
I felt it would be so difficult to catch up the procedure of financial system at first because, even
though they told some of procedures at first it was somewhat difficult to understand. So I interested
to ask more things them first but the staffs were amazing the taught me patiently. Then I catch up
the things in bill payable section like vouchers and its supporting documents and finally the
checking and prepared the expenditure report.

25. 17 | P a g e
Then the bank reconciliation also toughs at first but I managed to make familiar with accounts.
Then I found myself very active at work and easily adopt to the environment and able to maintain
good relationship with co-workers.
As soon as possible I catch up the things what they taught me but there are many things in a
financial system but it’s difficult to learn all the things within six months’ period of time. Also
there is not enough time, therefore limit task given for trainees.
When it comes to finance and budget section I was afraid and also interested to work as that was
very busy unit but I managed to catchup the things as staffs guide me very patiently. Here more
than the system I learned how important to being an emotionally intelligent, friendly and world
with pressure.
Also I had many chance to implement some theories what I learned during my degree programme,
was very helpful to me like handling difficult suppliers, academic service and organizational
behavior.
After my training period I realized how important it was to being punctual and well personality.
So now I will be punctual when it comes to professional work as well as personality like dressing
sense, communication and maintain relationship.
I got some knowledge, especially in EUSL, head’s leadership skill and way of communicating to
employees and suppliers and problem handling. From others staffs how to treat new comers and
suppliers as well as the way they maintain the relation among them was amazing (small example
they share their meals with other co-workers even the person busies at that time they waited for
other person and also they allocate the small portion of meals to their members as well.)
Finally, I got familiar with all the procedures what they taught me and adopt to the environment
as other staffs never treat me as a trainee, they treat me like the one of their employee. Then only
I became to about myself very active and attractive and will able to adopt to the environment and
also able to work as team. Before I didn’t think that I was a good team player but now I know that.
3.15 Lesson Learned
I did my six months internship program in EUSL. I got the opportunity to work in finance
department of the organization. I found myself very fortunate for being able to work with EUSL.
The report has been prepared on the basis of experience gathered during the period of internship.
Within this period, I mainly worked with department namely finance and budget department. I
also work with bursar unit for a short time. EUSL does not follow any specific guideline for the
internship students. The department treated me as one of them employees not just an intern. So, I
had to do a lot of work.

26. 18 | P a g e
I started my work in finance and budget department in book & budget section where I learned how
to prepare the trail balance & final accounts and collection of accounts from different accounts
like store accounts. Here I got some experience about whole accounting procedure starts from by
making entries and its effects goes on trial balance, P&L and on balance sheet. The staffs of the
office are very friendly and they patiently answered all my questions and the guided me in a very
well manner. Also learned how to treat a new co-worker and hoe to build relationship with co-
workers.
Next to bills payable I worked in same department where I learned what are supporting document
required for prepare the vouchers, record payment vouchers in DB and maintain expenditure control.
This section handles the payment to be made to the suppliers. Wonderful experience that was.
Salary unit is always update and close relative to the bank as well as I worked there very few times.
Within that time, I learned some basic procedures about calculate the EPF & ETF contribution,
PAYE TAX calculation, other benefits, updating and checking increments . This section always
under supervision of bursar. Cash & Bank section is also relative to the bank. It’s mainly duty is
prepare the bank reconciliation. Last days I worked votes & ledger section where I learned day to
day cash book writing & cheque printing. This unit need a good public relation as they always
busy with suppliers.
Over this six month in EUSL was an amazing experience as I learned more things than the office
operating system.
Also here I daily balance the passbook quantity and mandates. This unit need a good public relation
as they always busy with customers. . Here in learned how to work with pressure and impotence
of being emotional intelligent.
3.16 Conclusion and Way forward
The time spent for the internship at EUSL were no doubt a source of great learning for me about
many things particularly working in Finance Department. So I feel lucky to have EUSL as the
place of my work experience. I had no any idea of the challenges to be faced before putting my
foot in the professional world. My internship period was six months and I believe I have got more
knowledge and solved challenge than my expectation.
I personally had a wonderful time throughout my 24 weeks of internship, especially because I
found everyone friendly, honest and helpful. During this period I have work hard under kind
guidance of most experienced professional staff. They have given me lots of tips and techniques,
which will help me in my professional life. They have shared their experience and their expertise
with me.

27. 19 | P a g e
There is consideration for each other, in times of happiness and in times of pressure of work, and
each one is looking to complement the other either by working late or by forgoing his/her personal
commitments. As well as there are many memorable moments difficult situation I faced working in
the EUSL.
Whole of the staff are very well disciplined, encouraging and provide total guidance for the
completion of the practicum period. As a human being, I noticed many changes in my attitude. I
am so confident and more likely to do any work in accounting field now. On the whole it was a
pleasurable experience for me as an internee.
I Internship is a very good thing for a diplomat as got an opportunity to learn about society. I
