Day 13: Feedback from the System Briefing

I began my day by conducting the final test on the system before starting the briefing with the supervisor. Throughout the explanation, I received several questions about the system and discussed its aspects together with the supervisor. Once the briefing was completed, he provided feedback on what could be added to further support the work in the unit. He suggested that it would be better to include the audit processes that need to be carried out for each specific task in the schedule. I think this is a great idea, as it allows the schedule to be supported with proper documentation and clear steps for conducting the audit process, along with the estimated time required to complete each task.

The supervisor also provided me with a list of audit tasks, the initial schedule, and the audit procedures that need to be carried out to complete the work. Overall, the current system is already good with its detailed scheduling, but it can be further enhanced by adding proper documentation of the audit processes. Therefore, I will continue to develop a more advanced system until its completion, with regular consultation with the supervisor.

From today’s system briefing, I learned the importance of receiving feedback in improving a system. The discussion with the supervisor helped me see the system from a different perspective, especially in terms of adding value through proper audit documentation and processes. I realized that a good system is not only about functionality, but also about how well it supports users in carrying out their tasks effectively and systematically. This experience also helped me build confidence in presenting my work, even though I felt nervous at first. The feedback given motivates me to further enhance the system by making it more comprehensive and practical for real working use. Moving forward, I will continue to improve the system while maintaining regular consultation with the supervisor to ensure it meets the unit’s requirements.

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...
