During my placement, I underwent comprehensive formal training focused on workplace compliance and the specific financial systems used at Carpentaria. This included a detailed introduction to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) financial framework and the implementation of internal controls to ensure data integrity and ethical service delivery.
Complementing the formal curriculum, I engaged in extensive informal learning through direct supervisor guidance and hands-on experience. By observing experienced finance team members and participating in regular feedback sessions, I developed a deeper understanding of real-world accounting tasks such as invoice verification and expense classification.
