How can I practise checking my own work before submitting it?

Use the Adele Month End or Adele Year End Scenario together with the Critical Thinking and AI Challenge and Balance Sheet Review Challenge. The Scenario gives you a month-end and year-end focused scenario used for close-down, accruals and review work, so building a habit of reviewing your own figures critically before you hand them over — the single biggest difference between a junior who needs everything checked and one who doesn't happens in context — against real documents and a client who reacts the way a real one would — rather than as an abstract exercise, and Monika's feedback tells you exactly what to tighten up. More detail Start with Critical Thinking and AI Challenge to isolate the core technical skill before adding a client relationship on top of it. Move into the Adele Month End or Adele Year End Scenario, where the same skill shows up inside real documents and client correspondence rather than as a standalone exercise. Read Monika's feedback properly and redo anything she flags — repetition with correction is what actually builds the skill, not a single pass. Once that's comfortable, layer in Balance Sheet Review Challenge to round out the related skills an employer would expect alongside it.Frequently asked questions Do I need any experience before trying the Adele Month End or Adele Year End Scenario? No. Hey Monika's Scenarios and Challenge Mode tasks are built so a complete beginner can start straight away — Monika's feedback is there precisely because you're not expected to already know the answer. How long does this usually take to feel comfortable with? Most trainees need two or three attempts at the same Scenario or Challenge before it stops feeling unfamiliar. The value is in repeating it with Monika's feedback applied each time, not in getting it right first go. Is this the same as just reading about self-review habits in a textbook? No — the difference is that you're handling real documents, a real (if fictional) client, and in some Scenarios a live voice call, rather than reading a description of how the process works in theory. Get started Block out 30 minutes for Critical Thinking and AI Challenge and treat your first attempt as a diagnostic, not a test — then go again with Monika's feedback applied before you call it done.
