Okay so Monday thru Wednesday was rather different at best. Worked with Paul Clephane, the Insurance Accounts Div Director - real cool guy. He was keen on making sure I learned what his team did and got a good idea of what him and his staff did day-in and out. In a nutshell - number crunching. Paul is incharge of making sure BMS cash flow is up to date... he monitors all transactions and works to fix unallocated expenses.
Monday, I got the team introduction and overview then spent the afternoon on the first floor in the training room doing E-Learning courses - fun fun... got finished an hour early so Matt Searby gave us the rest of the day off.
Tuesday, I met Abu... this guy was machine... he could crunch numbers on the keyboard at lighting speed as he was facing me an explaining what he does everyday. Abu literally updates and allocates all the transactions of the previous day on the computer that have to go to the Llyods account which is an set up to basicly dump money into so a company called X-Changing can figure out which syndicates in Lloyds gets the money. It took him about 2 hours to do at his pace.. would have taken me all day... and he does this everyday... started 8 years ago. I told him he deserves a medal.
He asked me if I had any questions at the end of our session... I asked him if hhis job ever involved dealing with Lloyds directly from an accounting side... he said no - if there is a problem is goes up to Paul... guy has been doing this for 8 years!!! Props but its certainly something I would never want to do.
Wednesday thru Friday to be continued...
