My Top 3 Favourite Blogs

It was extremely hard to try and work my way through as many blogs as possible in order to choose my top 3, but here they are in no particular order.

The name of Ian Eisenhuth’s blog, “The accounting dream”, jumped out at me, and after having seen his very suitable and eye catching blog design, complimenting accounting perfectly, I knew I was going to read some quality work. Ian well introduces himself as a full time Electrician, studying a Diploma of Business and also goes into some detail of his passion for health & fitness. The content about his company Salmat is well written, as is the rest of his blogs focused on his assignment 1. Overall he is very much on track towards fulfilling his goal of getting to know others throughout the course and tackling all challenges. I doubt you’ll have a problem in doing so Ian, you seem well focused and certainly will be an inspiration to those lack motivation.

Jodie Sherman’s blog was shown to me through one of Martins regular emails. Upon reading her blog I realised why Martin chose to forecast it to the rest of the students as a learning experience, and hence why it is in my top 3. Jodie explains how overwhelmed she was by her given company and the difficulties she had, before finally reaching that ‘Ah-ha moment’. She speaks the truth! Jodie's earlier post titled “Reality Check” and “Brain OVERLOAD”, were a little bit of a laugh, but in a positive and surprisingly relatable way. After hearing how she dropped back to part-time I also reassessed my situation and am now doing 3 courses. As for Jodie’s company Lend Lease, it now seems as though she is on the right track and I’m sure she is heading in the right direction. Also, funny enough, her company is one of my company’s cliental.

Jayden Crilley, was one of the first blogs I found and just had to make it into my top 3. Jayden and I also connect on UCROO, so I had felt as if I already knew a little bit about him, but turns out I knew next to nothing. Jayden has a wide range of interests all revolving around himself as an ‘adrenaline junkie’, and it was crazy reading his experiences as well as seeing photos. His skills around blogging surprised me, and looks nothing like anyone else’s. The way in which he has designed his blog only heightens the information which he discusses about his company Maca Limited. Jayden has succeeded immensely in replicating his company’s own website, which shows his dedication and enthusiasm.  He has questioned himself and wondered whether he is on the right track. I commented just to reassure him again. You certainly are Jayden, it looks great mate!

Saunders International Limited

... providing our customers with economical and innovative solutions to all their Bulk Liquid Storage requirements...


Saunders International are an engineering and construction firm which specialises in the design, construction and maintenance of steel bulk liquid storage tanks and associated facilities. Although I have little to no knowledge in this particular area, this is my chosen organisation for the Accounting Assignment. There are many steps in this first assignment which i must work my way though, beginning with the analysis of the Annual Reports
I found the most interesting part of each Annual Report was the letter to shareholders. In quite a brief summary Saunders International Ltd. managed to give an insight to the financial position of the organisation and an overall assessment of their past performance.
The financial statements and following notes were less exciting to read through and certainly more confusing. I had come across a few terms that I did not completely understand. However after my weekly lecture, I am more confident in approaching the remainder of the annual reports and compiling KCQ's (Key Concepts and Questions) to add in discussion with my accounting class
Stay posted for more information on Saunders International Ltd. very soon...
