Day 11: System Development Progress

Today, I continued developing the scheduling system. I checked every page of the system to identify any mistakes or unsuitable content. I also reviewed the consistency of the page design and the overall system workflow. In addition, I tested the system from a user’s perspective by going through the data input and output processes along with the required validations. I also verified whether the inserted and retrieved data were correctly stored in the database. I believe there are still improvements that can be made to enhance the system’s efficiency and make it more distinctive compared to existing systems.

Besides that, I consulted my supervisor, Encik Rosli, regarding the system. We discussed having a briefing session next week, so I will focus on preparing and completing the system as much as possible to present it to the Internal Audit Unit. On the other hand, I also consulted the unit assistant, Encik Sahar, regarding the idea for the audit trace system. From this discussion, I obtained the necessary information to begin working on the system, which I plan to start after completing the current system in this phase.

From today’s work, I was able to improve my attention to detail by thoroughly checking the system’s pages, workflow, and data processes. This experience helped me understand the importance of testing a system from a user’s perspective to ensure its functionality and reliability. Additionally, the discussion with my supervisor and the unit assistant gave me clearer direction on both the current system and future development, which increased my confidence in handling system-related tasks independently.

First Day of Internship!

I started my first day of internship by reporting for duty at the MAIDAM office at 8:00 a.m. I was required to fill in the Act 88 form (Official Secrets Act, Appendix E). Then, I was assigned to my department, the Internal Audit Unit, where I had a brief introduction session with all the unit members, including the Information Technology team, who share the same office space. In the Internal Audit Unit, there are four members consisting of a Head of Internal Audit, a Senior Assistant, and two Assistants. After that, I began familiarizing myself with the scope of work and audit procedures in the department by reading the Internal Audit Manual, Treasury Instructions, flowcharts, and audit procedure manuals. I was also assisted in downloading the attendance application for clock-in and clock-out purposes and was given an access card. In addition, I was given a small task to suggest improvements that could enhance the overall efficiency of the workflow, as well as to provide any genera...

Day 7 of My Internship

Today went as usual as I continued working on my report and adding features to the system. The system is functional, but not completely good yet, as there are still many improvements that can be made to make it more convenient, efficient, and distinct from the usual systems used. Furthermore, I also had the opportunity to attend a Raya celebration at Yayasan Pendidikan Maidam at their office. It was a great experience as I got to meet and get to know various officers from different departments while enjoying our time together. In addition, I had the chance to consult with an assistant from the Internal Audit Unit about another type of system. He explained a system they have proposed to the Information Technology department and discussed whether it could be developed through in-sourcing. The system is related to maintaining an audit trail when they are questioning their clients. I have taken this into consideration and compared the feasibility of both systems to decide which system I s...

Day 4 as an Intern

I started my fourth day by reviewing my draft project and continuing to work on it. The Senior Assistant explained to me the use of Treasury regulations and circulars in auditing files for various departments in the government statutory sector. Today, I focused on reading and studying contract-related documents, including Treasury Act 169D, Government Procurement 2.10 (Direct Purchase for Supplies and Services), Government Procurement 2.11 (Direct Appointment and Requisition Works), and Government Procurement 4.2 (Letter of Acceptance, Government Orders, and Government Indent for Procurement). Specific exposure was given to me, as these matters will be discussed in a meeting scheduled for next week, and I can take this as a real-life example for future reference. I have also been informed that there will be an upcoming audit on wakaf, where I will be able to experience the actual audit process.  The Head of Unit also mentioned about about the sampling process, and I decided to revi...
