Dear Sir,
It is a great honor for me to present you the internship report as required for the completion of

cooperative with me during my internship tenure i.e., Six weeks in providing me information
regarding the procedures and processes in practice. Due to certain constraints I have not been
able to gather all the facts and figures about the organization. Yet, the report is a comprehensive
one, containing a lot of information. The practical work during the internship period has been a
reworking and enlightening experience.
Yours truly,

INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Subject
As I have got internship in Chartered Accountants firm and their major fields are audit
tax and consultancy. When I join the firm as internee it was the end of financial year for
many companies therefore I got opportunity to work in audit and consultancy department.
The detail regarding both divisions is described in detail under the head of Waqas and
Company services in this chapter. Under this chapter the detail regarding other
departments and their services is also given for the reader’s knowledge. But in the rest of
the report only audit and consultancy services will be discussed as I spend my eight
weeks only in these two departments.
1.2 Purpose

of MBA Finance and to explain what I have learned during my internship tenure (Six
weeks) at Waqas and Company.
1.3 Scope
This introductory chapter as described earlier will cover in detail regarding all the
services provided by Waqas and Company, but the following Chapters will only describe
what I have did in audit and consultancy division.
During my internship period, in firm, I really enjoyed working with the staff. It was
almost impossible to work in all the departments within that limited time. But on my
request, the staff of the firm provided me the opportunity to work in the different
departments for the sake of practical knowledge. Doing internship in the firm was a great
experience for me. I never had been in the professional environment ever before. I learnt
a lot during my internship program. Peoples were very cooperative and they guided me
all through the way. I was sent to the different departments and there I learnt different
things from the experience of people working over there.
The departments which I selected for my Internship are audit and consultancy
departments. The main focus of the firm was to give me an opportunity to interact with
the clients as much as possible. As my internship is in these departments so I have
explained these departments in brief as compared to the other departments of the firm.
In the complexities of the 21st century under the growing influence of globalization,
emerging technologies, ever changing laws, and above all increasing awareness and
demand of services from end-user, are compelling it to think in terms of global socio-
economic and political scenario to cater the needs of our civil societies, regarding mutual
obligations and rights.

them and being sensitive and responsive to their needs.
Waqas & Company believes that best form of problem solving is prevention. Hence, its
approach is based upon comprehensive multi-disciplinary prevention strategies e.g.
“Operational Research”, “SWOT Analysis”, “Internal Controls”, “Benchmarking” and
“Risk Management” etc.
By that where it bring piece of mind to the business community i.e. Clients Business and
help to make most informed decisions, there firm also indirectly contribute towards
economic well being of general masses.
Waqas & Company is constantly striving to improve its performance and adapt to ever
changing requirements of the market through an ongoing process of self-evaluation and
development. The firm sees the future as a positive challenge to consistently enhance the
position of its services while playing a positive and professional role in the socio
