About the things I saw and I worked
During my apparent time, I was able to see and do a lot of things, some of which were
about the accounts numbers in the district, the transaction and the preparation and
management of invoices
There are many types of account numbers in the district , the account numbers are four digit.
Among them the first one starts with 61 , the account number shows the salary payment ,
the second one starts with 62 , the account number starts with the budget for the purchase of
fixed goods and perishable goods and the third one starts with 63, and one for maintenance
is for various expenses. The fourth and the final account start with 64 and is the account
number for gifts and small expenses. When funds are withdrawn, it will be deducted from
the account .sometime sectors can separate the money in one of the accounts, but if they
don’t use it ask the finance office to consult them.
Another thing l looked at was how transaction were in the district finances. There are
Different types of transactions are done in the district internally and externally. The internal
in the sector like the payment of salaries, payment for various things done in the district is
done and the external with different government like CBE, ethio telecom, ELPA, WSA and
others. As a governmental institution, the transactions are done through the Commercial
Bank of Ethiopia. I understand during these transactions. As the transactions are recorded in
different ways, for example, cutting receipts for transactions, they can be recorded in
different electronic devices and on paper. Because at the end of the month the bank sends it
to the district for reference on paper. If the transaction is approved, it will be registered on
IBEX; otherwise it will be returned to the bank within fifteen days. And I was able to work
these things.
Finally, l has seen it about the receipts in the district. In the district there are many type of
receipts in the district. But I could see the three. The first one is called receipt voucher,
which is used to receive the budget from the sub city band returned from cash out by the
cash and purchaser. The other one is payment voucher, which is the type of voucher that the
district makes payment for specific services. The last One is General(journal)voucher which
is used to record related with the salary and also with holding which is retain from the
purchase from the seller 2%. I was able to work these vouchers.
