Strengthening Accounting and Auditing Expertise: Insights from a Regional Event in Montenegro

Ms. Albulena Nahi from Kosovo reflects on the recent event designed to enhance participants' knowledge in key accounting and auditing areas. Held in Montenegro, this event was especially valuable for Ms. Nahi. It significantly enriched her professional skill set and highlighted the importance of ongoing professional development in her field. The training sessions, interactive workshops, and discussions offered her new insights and essential professional connections, vital for her role.

“During the recent event focused on strengthening capacities in accounting and auditing, I had the privilege of participating in the session "Exploring On-the-Job Training Strategies for Accountants and Auditors." This session was structured around break-out groups, allowing participants to share and discuss various practical strategies for on-the-job training. The interactive nature of the session made it particularly engaging, and I was able to gain invaluable insights from other regional experts and their approaches to training.

This activity produced several valuable outcomes, including innovative training strategies, enhanced methods for accounting and auditing skills, and new professional connections. One particularly useful idea was a peer-to-peer mentoring program that pairs less experienced auditors with seasoned professionals for ongoing support and development. These outcomes provided practical solutions that could be immediately implemented, fostering a collaborative network of professionals dedicated to continuous improvement.

The impact on my professional success has been significant. I feel more equipped with advanced skills and knowledge, and have as a result experienced better job satisfaction and professional growth. The event gave me a renewed sense of purpose and motivation to apply these new insights in my daily work. I am particularly grateful to the CEF for organizing this incredible event

From the organizational perspective, the new strategies and collaborations have contributed to the success of our institution by improving our training programs and expanding our network of experts. Implementing these innovative training methods has resulted in more effective training sessions, leading to better-prepared accountants and auditors within our organization. This, in turn, positively impacts our overall institutional goals and objectives, ensuring a brighter future for our institution.

In conclusion, the event not only enhanced my personal skills and professional network but also strengthened our organizational capacity in accounting and auditing. The collaborative efforts and shared expertise from the network of regional experts have laid a strong foundation for continuous improvement and success in our field.”
