Abstract

Professional internships are a fundamental step toward full integration into the workforce. In this context, my experience as a public accounting intern at the Cumaral Municipality has been an enriching opportunity that has transcended academic theory and provided a practical understanding of the accountant's role in government. During my time in the municipal administration, I have assumed key responsibilities that go beyond traditional accounting aspects. Managing public resources, complying with government financial regulations, and preparing reports to ensure transparency and accountability have been fundamental aspects of my experience, and these responsibilities have challenged my technical skills and strengthened my understanding of the complexity of public accounting at the municipal level. Likewise, I share the lessons learned, the challenges overcome, and how these professional internships at the Cumaral Municipality have contributed to the development of skills as a future public accountant. Finally, I highlight the importance of applying the knowledge acquired in university academia in a practical and dynamic environment.
