INITIAL REACTIONS

INITIAL REACTIONS

With things moving at a much faster pace than I expected, we’re now at week three of my first semester of University. Accounting has proven to be much more of a delight than expected and thankfully, I seem able to handle the workload with ease. Step 1 of the assignment was a success aside from the fact that I mistakenly handed it in two days late… This was on the account that I stupidly did not realise that Assessment 1 requires us to upload sections of the assignment week by week rather than all at once upon completion. After this slight discrepancy, I decided to thoroughly re-read every aspect of the assignment and subject to ensure that I had my head wrapped around the entirety of the semesters requirements. Not wanting to dwell, I quickly moved on to locating the company that I had been allocated for this particular task.

Relief washed over me as I soon found that I had been delegated JD Sportswear as my listed company, one that I am very comfortable and familiar with. Being a regular shopper of the sportswear store, I immediately became excited to commence assessment one as fashion happens to be something I’m particularly interested in. I’ve recently been involved in planning the production of a leather bag company that I hope to eventually start up, which is why I’m extremely excited to have JD sportswear as my company. This got me thinking into the benefits that this assignment could possibly provide me with and hopefully insight into the intricacies that surround the accounting aspect of a fashion company?
