  Finance Department Intern

  It was indeed my first internship program in UAE. I was very delighted to work in the finance department. This was an internship solely taken to study how a finance department would function and in what area should I focus for choosing my specialization in MBA. I had mainly studied the different kind of expenses indulged in the organizations. The recordings and the allocation of recordings along with the ticket purchase entry. I also had an experience in the corporate clients bookings with the organization. Show less

  An opportunity which I would never forget. I have got an opportunity to do my internship in the internal audit team in the banking sector.
