Jsc Nc Kazmunaigas

've passed internship this summer in JSC NC "KazMunaiGas" (KMG) that is the largest oil and gas national company in the country, which accounts for about 35% of oil production in Kazakhstan. The objective of the internship I was involved in was to apply theoretical knowledge gained at KIMEP, specifically in my major, Finance, field, in practice. Indeed, the internship was taken by me in order to understand what field of finance I am most successful to work in.

The department I was in is Business Planning and Economic Analysis department, which core functions imply preparation and correction of business plans, annual budgets and consolidated financial statements.

Having passed Financial Statement Analysis course last semester, I offered to my supervisor a substitute way of evaluation of EVA for TCO. Currently the department is considering the implementation of that formula.

Within my internship, I deeply realized the importance of my major, Finance, and the whole responsibility that each financial manager bears. Moreover, particular courses that I passed in KIMEP before going to KMG, Financial Statement Analysis and Corporate Finance, significantly helped me in the analysis and I successfully applied the theoretical skills I obtained in financial courses.
