Our accounting internship allows participants the chance to apply previously acquired basic accounting and/or financial management knowledge to the real life day-to-day running of a successful NGO. Participants will expand their knowledge and understanding of organizational budgeting and finance.
Interns will participate in a variety of activities including preparing reports, data collection, record keeping, budget preparation, and filing and monitoring accounts. Interns will be provided with experienced supervision while expected to manage independently. They will gain experience in the techniques of social enterprise and grassroots budget management, and cost effectiveness. Interns will support the finance department in exploring new ways to reduce costs. They will also be expected to share in general officeand administrative tasks.
The intern will be playing a crucial role in the support of the NGO. Funding in SOLS 24/7 is limited, so the funds that are available need to be used cost effectively. Every cent that is saved in the finance department will benefit a student somewhere in the long run.
