Hi all!
I am just in the process of completing my challenge questions and I’m after a bit of advice if anyone can help me?
I run a company as ‘General Manager / Company Accountant’, hence probably only about a quarter of my time is spent on accounts (which has been reflected in my time in a relevant role).
When completing the performance objectives however, can I use experience from the main part of my job. For example for the first one (Professional Ethics) I’ve based it on dealings with a customer, which is not related to accountancy specifically. Is this ok? Most of them I can relate in some way to my role, just not always the accounts part of it!
Be really grateful if anyone can assist!Cheers
As long as it meets the objective then you can draw on any experience you want (although the benchmark seems to be not from more than 5 years ago). What you do need though is your mentor to be able to sign it off as valid.
Thanks fidget! My workplace mentor will be signing it off as valid (she is the owner of the business and therefore knows my work etc) however she is not a qualified accountant so I have to get a qualified accountant to act as a training supervisor to countersign it. What I dont understand is, what is the training supervisor signing to say? because if they are an external accountant they wont know the business and therefore wont be able to confirm its true!
