Financial Management Practices in the Beverage Industry

Abstract

This cooperative education report highlights my 16-week internship with Bottlers Nepal Limited, the authorized producer and distributor of Coca-Cola products in Nepal. The goal of this internship was to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and practical financial practices in a business setting. Assigned to the Finance Department, my responsibilities included accounts payable, invoice verification, tax computation, vendor reconciliation, and employee reimbursements. These tasks gave real experience with financial compliance, taxation, and internal business processes in the FMCG industry.
Throughout my internship, I encountered and solved a variety of operational difficulties, including manual procedures, restricted system access, and time-sensitive approvals. These
experiences improved not just my technical knowledge of Excel and financial paperwork, but also my communication, problem-solving, and time management abilities. By using theoretical ideas from courses such as financial accounting, taxation, and company finance, I obtained a thorough grasp of how huge corporations manage financial operations and regulatory compliance.
This report summarizes the learning outcomes, contributions, and personal growth that occurred throughout the internship. It also suggests ways to improve internship onboarding, work automation, and system access for future interns. Overall, this experience was an important step towards preparing me for a professional career in corporate finance.
